Updated Software
Novell Storage Manager 3.0.2
Novell Storage Manager introduces management and structure to an unmanaged and unstructured network storage system. Novell Storage Manager automates a comprehensive set of storage management tasks based on events, identity, and policies. Novell Storage Manager ensures that compliance policies are in place and that processes are followed.
Novell Storage Manager automates the complete life cycle management of user and group file system storage. As the world's only identity-based storage management solution, Novell Storage Manager leverages the power of network directory services, also referred to as "the directory" (either Novell eDirectory™ or Microsoft Active Directory) with directory-integrated Novell Storage Manager policies.
Novell Vibe OnPrem 3.1
Novell Vibe OnPrem gives you a simple and powerful way to bring together the people, information and resources your teams need. With Vibe OnPrem, people from all over the world can work together very efficiently. Without needing IT help, workers can easily create their own ad hoc project teams and workspaces. They can identify and gather the team members who can contribute the right expertise, knowledge and value they need for their project.
Project leaders and team members can use Novell Vibe OnPrem workspaces to store, organize and share all information related to a specific project. This includes documents, ideas, plans, research, milestones, tasks, expected outcomes, work in progress, and more.
Novell Vibe OnPrem lets your teams connect data from different collaboration sources—including wikis, blogs, forums, e-mail, calendars, documents, and web pages—and aggregate information based on the needs of a specific project.
Novell Vibe OnPrem consolidates collaboration tools into one secure, powerfully indexed solution that lets team members work together more intelligently, creatively and productively.
