Open source is transforming the computing landscape. It is changing economic models and creating new enterprise dynamics. And Novell is leading the way with SUSE® Linux Enterprise, the best-engineered, most interoperable platform for mission-critical computing—from the desktop to the data center.
Our collaboration in the open source community has been a driving factor behind much of our success. Some of Novell's biggest contributions to the community include our support of the openSUSE® project, the foundation of our distribution, and Greg Kroah-Hartman of Novell's SUSE Labs to provide free open source drivers. In addition, Novell sponsors and contributes to the GNOME project and is a patron of KDE. We're involved in promoting open-document formats at multiple levels.
The Linux-HA project provides a high-availability (clustering) solution for Linux, which promotes reliability, availability and serviceability through a community development effort. We launched Bandit-project.org to drive cooperative work around an identity management framework. We also support standardization of data center management processes as well as integrated systems management for heterogeneous networks.
