Dell and Novell today announced an agreement to offer Novell SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 certified on select Dell PowerEdge servers worldwide.
This announcement provides Dell and Novell customers with more choice for fully-supported Linux platform deployments, and at the best value in the industry. Dell provides a single point of contact for customers’ support needs; Dell Services will also assist customers throughout the lifecycle of their deployments.
Dell customers will be able to purchase Novell SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 with their single-and dual-processor PowerEdge servers. The agreement reinforces Dell and Novell’s longstanding collaboration to provide customers with superior standards-based computing platforms, and extends this value and expertise to customers deploying SUSE LINUX for their business applications.
“Today’s announcement marks an important expansion of Dell and Novell’s longstanding industry relationship,” said Al Gillen, research director, System Software, at IDC. “It provides Dell Linux customers more platform choice for fully supported operating systems, and gives Novell customers a new option for deploying Linux in their IT infrastructure.”
Linda York, vice president of global alliances marketing in Dell’s Product Group, said that SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 on Dell PowerEdge servers provides customers another robust and scalable enterprise platform to replace costly proprietary UNIX-based systems or to deploy Linux for the first time.
“This is another great example of Dell and Novell’s ability to work together to move standards-based computing further into the data center,” said York.
