Novell ZENworks Configuration Management

Discover an enlightened path to Windows 7 migration and comprehensive desktop management.

Coming soon - December 2009

Microsoft estimates that it can take more than 20 hours to migrate a single machine to Windows 7*. Fortunately, Novell ZENworks® Configuration Management is ready to dramatically accelerate and automate every aspect of the your Windows 7 migration efforts.

With ZENworks Configuration Management, you can use powerful imaging and personality migration capabilities to facilitate Windows 7 migrations, preserve personal desktop and application settings and minimize the business disruptions that normally accompany major OS upgrades.

If you have a mixed environment (and who doesn't?), you'll find that ZENworks is ideal for diverse multiplatform environments. It runs on your choice of server platforms, including Windows, Linux and Novell Open Enterprise Server for Linux. It allows you to use SUSE® Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 devices as content, collection or imaging satellites. And it gives you the ability to manage many different Windows desktop operating systems and versions.

Finally, you can integrate ZENworks Configuration Management with Active Directory, Novell eDirectory™ or even multi-directory environments. ZENworks dynamically reads user identity information from your directory. This allows you to continue to manage users with your directory of choice and use ZENworks to manage the applications and policies intended for those users. No user account replication or synchronization is required.
