Novell's PlateSpin Technology Helps Cost-cutting

Novell announced that the New Zealand Supercomputing Centre (NZSC) has chosen one of its PlateSpin workload management products to automate the management of its on-demand computing infrastructure.

Together with partner InterGrid, the NZSC hosts high-intensity computing projects for oil companies, bio-pharmaceutical enterprises, movie production houses and universities.

"With the increase in size and complexity of the facility, the NZSC needed to build new infrastructure management tools," said Steve Osborn, service line manager for Open Source solutions at Gen-i.

Novell is positioned within the top tier of global software companies in New Zealand and worldwide, and has a large footprint of infrastructure technology in market sectors of government, healthcare and education.
