Software Vendor

Expand your offerings and expand your market. 

The Novell PartnerNet program offers Independent Software Vendors full access to the tools, training and support they need to build and certify their applications to run on SUSE^® Linux Enterprise in standard, cloud, or appliance configurations (via SUSE Appliance Program). As part of our commitment to you, we offer the most interoperable Linux operating system and cutting-edge tools such as the award-winning SUSE Studio^® and the innovative Mono Extension. Mono allows you to port your existing C# and .NET applications to run on multiple platforms such as Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone/iPod Touch, and Android.

Our expansive ecosystem of partners is available to assist you in promoting your products, building new relationships and creating more opportunities. Our Certified Application Catalog represents the largest Linux ecosystem of vendors and applications available today. We have created SUSE Gallery as a marketplace to showcase partners' appliances. In addition, Novell launched the SUSE Cloud Program which allows ISVs and developers to use SUSE Linux Enterprise in an on-demand model with the leading cloud service provider platforms. With these providers, an ISV application that was certified for a SUSE Linux Enterprise product is also automatically certified for cloud deployment when used with that SUSE Linux Enterprise product.
