Novell Open Enterprise Server and introducing Novell Open

Novell® Open Enterprise Server and introducing Novell Open Workgroup Suite Jason Williams Product Manager Open Enterprise Server Novell, Inc.

Agenda • Novell® Open Workgroup Suite – What it is – Licensing and pricing • Novell Open Enterprise Server – Overview – Roadmap – What you get with SUSE® Linux Enterprise • Open Workgroup Suite and Open Enterprise Server • Q&A

Setting the Direction • Organizations that plan to upgrade their core workgroup infrastructures have two primary choices, which will set the future direction for IT: • Keep paying high prices: A Microsoft* Windows-centric solution based on proprietary software from desktop to server • Go with a low-cost, high-value alternative: A solution based on technology from Novell®, other vendors (including Microsoft) and open source software Note: Windows Vista*, Office 2007 and Longhorn server require migration and training efforts plus hardware investments, further underscoring the need for evaluating options.

Introducing the Alternative • Novell® Open Workgroup Suite combines technical innovation from the open source world with the experience and global reach of Novell. It includes: • Industry-leading enterprise networking services • A secure and reliable collaboration solution • A cross-platform systems management tool • An open source Linux* desktop • An open source productivity suite for Windows* and Linux • An open source Linux server for applications

What the Press Is Saying 9 • “While we do not expect companies to suddenly dump Microsoft's solution overnight, given the significant hardware requirements for Vista and the expense of upgrade and retraining organizations would face; for many, a switchover to Open Workgroup Suite (OWS) would instantly add life expectancy to their desktops, reduce their financial outlay, and not require substantial changes to the environment already familiar to the majority of information workers. So although the OWS desktop will not be a panacea for many classes of power users or those with specialized applications, for the great masses a viable alternative has, in our opinion, finally emerged. When combined with the substantial back-end infrastructure capabilities of ZENworks® along with Group. Wise®, the pricing and performance offered by OWS is bordering on disruptive. While Windows* Vista—or whatever its final name will become—may come to represent a substantial upgrade opportunity for Microsoft, it may also unleash a considerable upgrade opportunity for Novell. ” • Source: IT Analysis, "Novell announces the platform for the enterprise, " March 31, 2006. © Novell, Inc.

What the Press is Saying 10 • "For years we have witnessed much spilled ink touting Linux's low cost, open source, free-for-taking approach to software with many positing that it would lead to the demise of Microsoft's hegemony over corporate desktop operating systems and office productivity applications. To date, this has largely been the delusional fantasy of religious fanatics that are hell-bent on venting their frustration at Microsoft's ability to create two seemingly unstoppable cash cows out of this market opportunity. However, the problem has not convinced organizations to give up their love affair with Software Assurance, or what many consider increasing feature bloat or the convenience-over-security approach taken by the Redmond Giant, but rather that any proposed alternatives have been far less than 'good enough' and did not have the commercial trimmings requisite to be seriously considered as an alternative. With OWS, we believe this reality has changed. " • Source: IT-Director. com, "Novell announces the platform for the open enterprise, " March 31, 2006 © Novell, Inc.

Industry Recognition for Open Enterprise Server “It's a new day, a new dawn, for Novell. And it's not just Novell saying it. It's the people who support Novell, who build their lives around Novell, who are enjoying the return of new light and life to an old company. ” —e.

Ware ® file/print services. ” —Gartner and John Enck, “Bottom Line” “After doing two major acquisitions to build its Linux* portfolio and coming up with what at least one analyst calls a "clear roadmap" for moving its Net. Ware customers to Linux, Novell is winning credibility as a Linux player. ” —Business Week, “For Novell, Linux Means New Life” “Importantly, Linux will change that materially, which should help drive new adoptions, and stabilize Net. Ware (again to become [Open Enterprise Server]). Investors may want to note that maintenance renewals for Net.

The Microsoft* Agreement Enterprise Agreement Includes Software Assurance • The Enterprise Agreement includes access to new versions of the products released during the contract period (Software Assurance). • Microsoft releases new versions of its enterprise platform products infrequently, limiting the value of the offering. The timeline* below shows when Microsoft Windows for servers and desktops have been released—a schedule that underscores the limited value of the Enterprise Agreement. Windows 2000 Windows 2003 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006. . . Windows XP *Timeline based upon press room of www. microsoft. com

Avoid Paying for Your Infrastructure More Than Once • Is the Microsoft* Enterprise Desktop Professional Platform the right size for everyone in the organization? • You can save up to $350* per device over a period of three years by not purchasing the full Enterprise Desktop Professional Platform. (Purchase the CALs needed instead. ) By not signing up for the Enterprise Agreement, customers are free to choose open, secure and reliable alternatives to what Microsoft offers in the workgroup space today. Core infrastructure software and desktop hardware upgrades are often in sync. As Windows* XP is included when buying new desktops, you don't want to pay for that again. 33 © Novell, Inc.
