Novell Launches Linux Product, Services Bundle for SMB

Novell Monday launched a Linux bundle aimed at small and mid-market customers and partners.

Novell, Waltham, Mass., is bundling SUSE Enterprise Linux 9 with technical support and online training in one packaged offering at a discount price. The offering includes the Linux software, an online training module and technical support.

Ladd Timpson, worldwide director, channel and alliance marketing at Novell, said it's a good offering for midmarket customers that don't sign enterprise licensing agreements but want one vendor for their support needs.

"This provides the full package of service an SMB customer wants that is easy to procure and easy for partners to sell," Timpson said. The bundle is targeted at customers with more than 100 users, typically those with between 250 and 1,000 users.

Novell will continue to target its Linux Small Business Suite at small business customers with fewer than 100 users.
