Technical White Papers

This month's release includes 1 new white paper which are sure to help you sharpen your knowledge of Novell products and solutions:

  • Software Appliances Ease Cloud Application Deployment - Software appliances continue to generate interest and gain momentum in the industry, riding on the coattails of the exploding virtualization and cloud computing markets. In general, software appliances bring the promise of simplified application stacks, application isolation, and utility computing to create a single composite package. IDC predicts that the software appliance market will grow to $3.7 billion by 2014. In addition, growth rates and resulting overall volume forecast for 2012 support IDC's expectation that Linux will emerge as the platform favored by independent software vendors (ISVs) for building next-generation software appliances.
