Novell said the new programme is in response to customer demand for help as they make the decision to transition their data centre Linux infrastructure from existing third-party distributions to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Many times, customers who want to move between platforms are constrained by factors such as IT resource limitations, application migration scheduling and training costs, which means they need time to make an orderly transition.
In response to these challenges, Novell is providing technical support for a customer's existing Linux environment and is also delivering training and tools to ensure the transition to the SUSE Linux Enterprise platform is smooth and successful, the company said.
“As the Linux market matures, we are increasingly being approached by customers who want to move to SUSE Linux Enterprise, attracted by Novell's award-winning support, superb interoperability in mixed-source environments and by our support for mission critical applications,” said Justin Steinman, vice president, solution and product marketing, Novell. “This new programme makes it even easier for these customers to make the move to Novell.” |
