WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Novell today
announced the general availability of Novell® ZENworks® 11, the
industry's first 'single pane of glass' solution for endpoint
management. ZENworks 11 seamlessly integrates four products into
one unified platform: ZENworks Configuration Management, ZENworks
Asset Management, ZENworks Patch Management and ZENworks Endpoint
Security Management. This integration now gives IT administrators a
single solution to manage devices, patch applications, secure
endpoints, and track software license compliance – across physical,
virtual, and cloud environments – while meeting short-term needs
such as Windows 7 migrations.
"With thousands of employees in more than 40 locations, we need
a cost-effective way to manage nearly 3,000 endpoints through out
our city – from the fire department to the police department and
everything in between," said Paul
Pedron, senior network systems specialist for the
City of Fresno, California's fifth
largest city. "Regardless of whether users are working inside or
outside our network, we want them to have a consistent, secure and
reliable workspace. ZENworks 11 allows us to apply different
policies for each department. This way, we give users access to the
software they need, while keeping the data and device secure."
Armed with identity-based management and new location awareness
capabilities, ZENworks 11 allows administrators to manage devices
based on who's using them and where those devices are located,
thereby delivering higher levels of productivity and security.
Other features in ZENworks 11 include the ability to configure
Windows* power management settings, perform out-of-band power
management tasks using Intel* vPro*, and manage and patch Windows
and Linux* devices all from a single console.
"ZENworks 11 builds on Novell's management heritage by
delivering the industry's first identity-based, 'single pane of
glass' solution to manage and secure endpoints across physical,
virtual, and cloud environments," said Jim
Ebzery, senior vice president and general manager for
Security, Management and Operating Platforms at Novell. "Whether
migrating to Windows 7 or managing remote offices, ZENworks 11
allows organizations to manage users, minimize interruptions and
improve service levels. ZENworks 11 is core to our WorkloadIQ
strategy and is specifically designed to grow and evolve as the
emerging intelligent workload management market evolves."
