Novell advances mobility portfolio with two additions to Novell ZEN works Product Suite

Novell has announced the release of ZEN works Application Virtualisation 10 and ZEN works 2.7, adding to Novell’s mobility portfolio and meeting the productivity and security needs of today’s device-saturated businesses. Both releases further equip organisations with the resources and technology to manage growing enterprise application needs, as well as manage employees’ needs when working from multiple devices.

Today’s business environment demands IT staff to stay one step ahead of the mobile workforce. These latest releases help accomplish this by addressing pressing mobility trends such well as traditional enterprise pain points like application management.

ZENworks Application Virtualisation 10 allows users to get virtual versions of their Windows applications where they need them. Through the click-andgo convenience of secure Web portals, users get exactly what they need, when they need it, from any Windows laptop or desktop, regardless of location. This enables IT departments to ensure that users are authorised to access the appropriate applications; they can track consumption of virtualised applications to help organisations ensure they optimise their acquisition of software licences.

ZENworks Mobile Management 2.7 introduces the ability to assign policies to entire Lightweight Directory simultaneously, eliminating the tedious and time-consuming task of applying a new policy to each, individually.
