Microsoft and Novell presented their joint technical roadmap and listed customer benefits that result from the collaboration. The companies are going to contribute to four spheres of activity, among them virtualization.
As far as virtualization sphere is concerned, Microsoft and Novell are developing a number of joint solutions that will allow the customers to run various host-guest combinations like using Host SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 10 from Novell® as a virtualized guest on an upcoming service pack of Microsoft® Virtual Server 2005 R2.
“With this first installment of the Microsoft-Novell development road map, we see that both companies are building on this relationship to develop real, product-specific solutions to deliver on the promises made to customers,” said Al Gillen, research vice president, System Software, for IDC. “The great potential of the November announcement between Microsoft and Novell could have been disappointing without a product-specific road map to execute against. With the road map, the technology benefits customers can expect will be tangible and delivered on a predictable basis.”
