This is old news from the end of February, but I've only just gotten around to dropping a post on it. Novell Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVL) has acquired PlateSpin Ltd., a leader in server virtualization and data center management tools. Novell, best known for the NetWare operating system and top-of-line directory service has lost a lot of traction in the data center to the arguably inferior Windows operating system, as well as UNIX & LINUX and they've been flying under the radar (at least my radar) for quite a while now.![]()
I think this is a great move by Novell to make a splash in the virtualization arena because PlateSpin has a few great products out there:
- Forge is an appliance solution (think hotsite in a box) that provides complete protection for up to 25 server workloads straight out of the box. In the event of production server downtime or a disaster, protected workloads can be rapidly recovered and continue to run on the PlateSpin Forge appliance until they can be restored to the production environment.
- PowerConvert provides the flexibility to move and rebalance workloads in any direction between physical and virtual hosts.
- PowerRecon is a feature-rich analysis tool that can identify targets for consolidation or virtualization and you can convert IT resource usage data into billable values for chargeback purposes.






It is very useful and the postings are very interesting for more information you can check :
