Novell Update: Partners leverage virtualization solutions

Yesterday, Microsoft and Novell announced another milestone for their interoperability partnership that dovetailed with Microsoft's Hyper-V launch on September 8th. In short, we are making available, through partners, a combined offering with SUSE Linux as an optimized guest on Hyper-V. The technical solution maximizes choice for customers seeking to virtualize mixed environments with Windows and SUSE Linux.  The offering announced today enables partners - who had worked independently with Microsoft and Novell - to directly participate in the collaboration by combining a mix of hardware, services, and support directly to their customers.

In the coming weeks look for information about hands-on lab engagements sponsored by Microsoft and Novell. I will post updates here or you can visit  our partnership website at moreinterop.com.
