Novell Appoints Resolvo as Platinum Technology 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.”
