Novell has announced WorkloadIQ a solution for growing intelligent workload management (IWM) market.

Novell’s strategy for IWM, WorkloadIQ, is based on its ability to integrate identity and security into IT workloads thereby giving customers the confidence and flexibility needed to deliver IT services to end users across physical, virtual and cloud environments.

WorkloadIQ offers customers a pragmatic approach to intelligent workload management, which is one of the hottest growth markets in the IT industry today. With WorkloadIQ, Novell and its partners address fundamental security and automation concerns by taking a unique identity-centric approach to workload management.

WorkloadIQ provides a comprehensive and cohesive portfolio of products that give customers a simple way to securely manage workloads across physical, virtual and cloud environments. In addition to supporting the entire IWM lifecycle of build, secure, manage and measure, WorkloadIQ is modular, allowing customers to address their most pressing needs while building toward an integrated solution.

In addition, Novell has been working with partners across the ecosystem to enable customers to move down the path toward intelligent workload management. In June 2010, VMware announced it would distribute and support the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system.

Customers who want to deploy SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for VMware in VMware vSphere virtual machines will be entitled to receive a subscription to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server at no cost that includes patches and updates as part of their newly purchased qualifying VMware vSphere license and Support and Subscription. VMware also announced it intends to standardize its virtual appliance-based product offerings on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
