SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop "Multiplied"
Omni and Userful demonstrated how up to 10 users can share a SINGLE Linux desktop PC running Novell's new SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED 10) operating system and the Linux Desktop Multiplier add-on software at LinuxWorld Canada in Toronto.
Perfect For...
"Corporate, healthcare, government and educational customers can now deploy Novell's next generation desktop, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, at a fraction of the cost with the Desktop Multiplier," says Trevor Poapst, Global Strategist for the Desktop Multiplier at Omni. "Imagine the cost savings of connecting 10 independent workstations – consisting of a monitor, keyboard and mouse – to a single SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop computer."
