Novell Case Study Sample

Conductor is reaping rewards from the agreement. It has an efficient, virtualized server infrastructure and enjoys trouble-free document exchange. The company can continue to grow without fear of overburdening its systems and it has access to mission-critical support services from a single source. The processor’s ability to provide excellent service is bringing in new business as well. By building translators to improve document format compatibility between Open XML and OpenDocument formats, Microsoft and Novell are improving interoperability between office productivity applications.

Virtualization Resource Savings Running a virtualized server environment is bringing additional efficiencies to Conductor. Not only can Ribeiro remove older machines from the environment, but he has also reduced the total number of machines needed to maintain the system. Using the support certificates purchased with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server licenses, Conductor now enjoys support for its virtualized environment 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In terms of support costs, Conductor expects to save 15 percent.
