Partner and Certifies its Linux Desktop Migration Product |
Novell partners with Resolvo,
a leading Linux/Open Source software enabler in Singapore,
and certifies the interoperability of its migration product,
MoveOver,
with Novell solutions |
Novell® has appointed Resolvo as its first Platinum Technology
Partner in Asia-Pacific. This technology partnership will allow
both companies to leverage their complementary expertise and products
in a joint effort to increase Linux adoption. Resolvo’s Windows-to-Linux
migration tool, MoveOver™, is also the first product in the
world to be certified by Novell in the desktop migration tools category.
As the leading resource optimisation solutions provider in Singapore,
Resolvo helps enterprises with Linux infrastructure deployment,
office collaboration and business analytics tools. Resolvo is a
strong advocate of Linux and open standards, offering organisations
a seamless migration from proprietary platforms to Linux in a cost
effective and secure manner. The appointment as a Novell Platinum
Technology Partner signifies Resolvo’s high level of support
and commitment to Novell and its products.
“Technology Partners, like Resolvo, are extremely critical
to Novell’s go-to-market strategy and play an important role
in Novell’s one Net vision of a world without information
boundaries,” said Ernest Low, Country Manager, Singapore,
Indonesia and the Philippines for Novell. “Through our PartnerNet®
programme, Resolvo will be able to communicate and share ideas with
others in the Novell partner ecosystem, allowing its products to
reach a broad and globally-diverse audience in the shortest time
possible.”
Novell only appoints its Platinum Partners by invitation, as they
form the top tier of the Novell PartnerNet programme. As an elite
partner, Resolvo will enjoy Novell’s highest level of developer
support and partnering services, with a Novell alliance manager
overseeing joint marketing programmes, dedicated engineering support
and training.
Assured Interoperability with Novell Products
The Novell YES CERTIFIED™ mark is recognised worldwide as
an endorsement of third-party-product compatibility with Novell
offerings, providing interoperability assurance to Novell customers.
Resolvo’s MoveOver tool was awarded the Novell YES certification
under the desktop migration category because it has successfully
completed Novell's stringent product certification testing, demonstrating
compatibility with Novell’s SUSE® LINUX Enterprise Server
and NetWare®. MoveOver is a user-friendly Linux desktop tool
offering home users, small offices and enterprises alike a cost-efficient
and secure migration to open standards.
''Resolvo is extremely happy to partner with Novell since the
company is a strong proponent of Linux-based technology. We are
very proud to be the first Novell Platinum Partner in Asia-Pacific
and honoured that MoveOver is the world’s first desktop migration
tool to be awarded the Novell YES certification,” said Yap
Boon Leong, Director of Business Development at Resolvo. “This
technology partnership will allow us to leverage Novell’s
strong portfolio of Linux products as well as the company’s
extensive market reach in the region. Together, we have the essential
suite of solutions to achieve our mutual vision of increased Linux
platform adoption.”
''Today, the Linux wave is one which no CIO or CTO can choose
to ignore. Linux’s value lies in its exceptional stability,
as well as its ability to bring down the total cost of ownership
by eliminating the unnecessary expenditures associated with proprietary
servers and applications,” continued Ernest. “In the
past, Linux migration came at a high cost given the lost productivity
during the migration process. With MoveOver, Resolvo is helping
companies enjoy significant savings through its simple two-step
implementation.”
