Top 10 Reasons Why People are Excited

Userful Multiplier for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop has been featured at BrainShare (Salt Lake City, Johannesburg and Barcelona), GWAVACon (Dallas, Berlin, Munich), LinuxWorld (San Francisco, Toronto, Mexico City, Johannesburg, London) and other major conferences around the world. If there were two key reasons why customers are interested in this alternative, low-cost, eco-friendly desktop computing strategy, it would be because (1) the solution outperforms LTSP and thin-client strategies and (2) customers can deploy at least twice as many desktops using this strategy for the same budget when compared to stand-alone PCs.

Here are the top 10 reasons why people are excited:

Rich user experience: Userful Multiplier for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop allows up to 10 users to simultaneously browse the Internet, use GroupWise, run OpenOffice (fully compatible with Microsoft Office) and any other software you have installed. In terms of performance, it is as though each user had his or her own computer.

Dramatically reduces total cost of ownership: Userful Multiplier's "10-to-1 advantage" on hardware, software and management costs provides significant total cost of ownership savings for schools, libraries, businesses and governments that are planning on deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop.

No special hardware required: Userful Multiplier for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop uses standard, cost-effective Intel and AMD-based computers, standard dual-head video cards, and standard USB keyboards and mice to allow up to 10 users to connect to a single desktop computer

Leverages SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop: Customers are excited to learn that Userful Multiplier leverages the impressive SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop software bundle (OpenOffice, Evolution, Firefox, Citrix ICA client, Gimp, Windows Terminal Server, PDF Creator, and more) across as many as 10 users on one singel computer. That means you only need to buy one SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop licence for your multi-user system.

Leverages existing Novell investments: Each user on the Userful Multiplier system can take advantage of your existing investments in Novell GroupWise, Novell Messenger, iFolder, and other Novell products. The Multiplier has been tested with the new Novell Client for Linux, so you can now connect to your NetWare, OES, Linux and Windows network file servers. Future versions of Userful Multiplier for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop will be manageable with ZENworks for Linux.

10-to-1 advantage: Companies are reporting savings upwards of 80-90% on the cost of deploying and managing their desktops. Just think of it – buy one computer, instead of 10. One tape backup system, instead of 10. One UPS, not 10. ; one UPS, not 10; the cost to manage one computer, support one computer and repair one computer, not 10; the cost of electricity to power one computer, not 10; the cost of physical infrastructure (air conditioning, electrical requirements, etc.) for one computer, not 10.

Straightforward to install: Userful Multiplier for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop is easy to install. Connect the hardware, install the software. Once the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop operating system is installed, you can have 10 users up and running in 20 minutes.

Ideal for: Userful Multiplier for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop has proven to be an ideal solution wherever you need two or more desktops in the same room – everything from classrooms, libraries, colleges and universities, tradeshows & events, Internet kiosks, computer labs, healthcare, government, banks, call centers, cruise ships, retirement homes, hotel lobbies, airport lounges, job banks, remote communities, oil field well sites, government & NGO connectivity projects, telecenters... The list just keeps growing.

Licensing freedom: A 'multiplied' SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop system offers you the licensing freedom to deploy Open Source software with a "10-to-1 advantage". This is of particular importance to developing nations and organizations that need to do more on a limited budget.
