Analysts “Get” the OES Strategy

For Novell, Linux Means New Life - Business Week

After doing two major acquisitions to build its Linux portfolio and coming up with what at least one analyst calls a "clear roadmap" for moving its NetWare customers to Linux, Novell is winning credibility as a Linux player.

Bottom Line: (Gartner and John Enck)

Gartner sees Open Enterprise Server as the start of a new era for NetWare file/print services, not the epitaph for NetWare. Evaluate your financial and strategic commitments around NetWare and Linux to determine the importance of OES in your infrastructure.

Baird - U.S. Equity Research - Novell, Inc.

Desktop and Infrastructure Software (Relevant Again)

Importantly, Linux will change that materially, which should help drive new adoptions, and stabilize NetWare (again to become OES). Investors may want to note that maintenance renewals for NetWare have been good, and there has not been a meaningful run-off of the installed customer base.

Analysts “Get” the OES Strategy (cont.)

New Day, New Novell - eWeek

One reason for resellers' happiness is that Open Enterprise Server will include both NetWare and Linux. Thus, neither they nor their customers are forced to upgrade to Linux. Resellers and end-users alike hate feeling like they're being made to move to a new system when their old one still does its job. Thus, they don't have to worry about legacy customers being forced to choose to support one or the other.

It's a new day, a new dawn, for Novell. And it's not just Novell saying it. It's the people who support Novell, who build their business lives around Novell, who are enjoying the return of new light and life to an old company.

JMP Securities - Novell, Inc. - The Comeback Kid: Hoping to Move NetWare Users to Linux.

We believe Linux’ market opportunity is compelling, and we view the acquisitions very favorably because Novell needed a strong strategic move to address its declining core NetWare business. The new product suite (OES) is an important move in “contemporizing” its core services solutions stack from running exclusively on the NetWare O/S to also running on the Linux

Introducing Cypress
OES Successor to Sawtooth

Cypress's Overarching Focus Areas
Key Objectives

Windows to OES Migrations

Further Enhance NetWare-Linux Integration

Monitoring & Management Platform

for “IT Infrastructure”

Linux Clustering and Storage

Desktop Integration

Further Enhance NetWare-Linux Integration

Enhance migration and in-place upgrade capabilities to move NetWare services over to Linux.
Preserve NetWare experience.
Pass on to customers hardware certification benefits of a common platform OS.

Objectives

Cypress Answers Customer Questions Regarding NetWare

Sawtooth – “Prove to me that my investment is protected”

Will I really be able to do on Linux what I can do on NetWare?

Will managing the Linux side leverage what I know about NetWare?

Will these two worlds really coexist?

Will Novell's ecosystem equally cover both the NetWare and Linux side?

Cypress - “Help me move my investment forward”

Make my NetWare migration to Linux even easier (in-place)

Continue supporting my NLMs

Continue support for the NetWare management experience

Give me a complete, unified list of supported HW platforms and ISV solutions

Help me consolidate workloads onto a common platform

Objectives

Desktop Integration

Deliver on Novell's “Server to Desktop” message, by creating an enterprise-class server to desktop connectivity and enhancing user experience.
Create a market opportunity where the workstation experiences on Linux and Windows pull across server sales.

Create Synergy Between Cypress's Back-End Services and the Linux Desktop

“With Novell's new acquisitions, the company offers a soup-to-nuts, "Microsoft-free" product lineup. Furthermore, based on company history, we expect Novell, like IBM, to become a legion of Linux desktops connected to Linux servers, with proprietary Novell middleware tying it all together. If an enterprise assigns value to that proprietary layer, Novell becomes the no-brainer Linux server and desktop provider.”

Jonathan Feldman, Network Computing

Integrate access to Cypress services with the Linux desktop to attain:

Desktop awareness of the network and the rich services provided by Cypress

Default desktop behaviors that consume Cypress services

Contextual integration – access to Cypress from within file explorer and applications

Shared state across Cypress service clients

Enticement for users to explore Cypress services

Integrated, Common Management

Open Enterprise Server it the first time a major OS release from Novell does not require an directory service overhaul. Open Enterprise Server provides true additive deployments.

This includes synchronization and gatewaying technologies for integrated coexistence within your environment. Three examples are shown in this graphic: CIM-, eDir- and RPM-enablement. These enable common health monitoring, iManager-based management, and patch/update management, respectively.
