The Novell ZENworks Configuration Management architecture is built on Web services technology and provides industry-leading desktop, laptop and handheld file management, all administered using a Web browser. It uses a single adaptive agent for all services and uses a database to store all ZENworks information while still leveraging your corporate directory for user-based management.
