Wednesday Keynote

by | Mar 24, 2005 | evilzenscientist, Uncategorized

The Wednesday keynote was incredible.

We did a deep dive on all of the Identity Driven Computing pieces – including a really compelling demo of ZENworks managing the Novell Linux Desktop. We also did a sneak peek of the Tally Systems TS.Census product.

Found some interesting commentary on the keynote:

Bert Plat:

Next followed a sneak peek at the upcoming ZENworks 7, with its new management web interface, and the possibilities to control Linux boxes to the same extent as Windows desktops. I haven’t taken a close look at ZENworks since, oh, version 3 or so, so to me this was quite revelatory. Another product I need to take a very close look at.
