Novell Ready Application Compatibility Logo Program

Novell works with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to ensure their software applications work well with SUSE Linux Enterprise, Open Enterprise Server, NetWare, GroupWise, and ZENworks. Novell ISV Partners can provide assurance of application compatibility and supportability in both native and virtualized environments through the Novell Ready Program.

Novell Ready Partner Products can be found in the Novell Partner Product Guide.

Partners: Show Customers Your Application is Novell Ready in Native and Virtualized Environments

If you have a software application you have tested and support on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, Open Enterprise Server, NetWare, or GroupWise, or ZENworks we want to promote your solutions to our mutual customers. By participating in the Novell Ready Program you can:

  • List your product in the Novell Partner Product Guide, our searchable, online software catalog
  • Use the Novell Ready logo on your web site, packaging, and promotional material
  • Help customers easily identify your software as being tested for compatibility with Novell products
  • Promote your application as Ready for virtualized SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 environments: Novell Compatibility Program for Virtualization

Note: If your software application for SUSE Linux Enterprise contains kernel modules or is an application for NetWare, you can participate in our more rigorous YES Certified Program where you make use of a YES Certified Test Kit and an official YES Certified Bulletin is issued and hosted on the Novell web site.
