Microsoft and Novell are working together to improve interoperability between Windows and Linux environments. Since forging the five-year agreement, the two companies have rolled out a number of interoperability initiatives including virtualization, identity federation, and heterogeneous systems management. This session will provide an overview of the interoperability solutions that you can deploy today to reduce data center costs, gain new levels of flexibility, and streamline operations all with complete peace of mind around licensing and integration.
