ZENworks

Configuration Management Solutions made simpler with Universal Image

Novell ZENworks does lots of work for you, and keeps your time open to keep your business running smoothly. The implementation process for ZENworks, however, can be fraught with headaches.

Particularly, one of the most time consuming elements in implementing the solution is the imaging that has to be done on each and every different computer used in your company. For larger businesses especially, with hundreds or thousands of users, this need to image each workstation can begin to get extremely time consuming.

Universal Image was created by Novacoast Workstation Management Engineer Larry Stein, who found a way to expedite the implementations of Novell ZENworks in which he specializes. Stein set out to find ways to simplify this complicated process and deliver the features of a workstation management solution ahead of schedule, without any of the tedium associated with optimizing customization after customization.

Now, Novacost’s Universal Image Service is available for every Configuration Management Solution on the market; and not only does Universal Image allow you to use a single image for every workstation, but it also cuts the time needed to implement your configuration management solution.

Check out the latest OnsITe video and find out how Novacoast can help to dramatically reduce the imaging time and effort normally necessary to implement Novell ZENworks or any solution for Workstation Management.

Change never comes easy.

With this in mind, Novell and Novacoast have been working together for some time to chip away at the inevitable intimidation most companies feel when facing migration to a new OS.

Because even though Windows 7 is more supported and developed than its predecessors, taking on the job of implementing it is bound to cause a little anxiety.

Recently, Novell’s Director of End User Computing Grant Ho sat down with Novacoast National Sales Manager Darin Sanders to talk Windows 7.

What you need to overcome the difficulty of a migration is a plan, and Darin Sanders explains how Novacoast has created a game-plan that would make migration easier using Novell ZENworks.

Find out how the right help can make the difference between anxiety and confidence.

Windows 7 Migration – Ordeal or Opportunity?

It’s often true that in the face of some of our most difficult trials, hardship gives way to opportunity – and that no looming responsibility is as bad as it seems the moment before commitment.

And with the right help, this is no less true of a Windows 7 Migration.

Starting from scratch to build up your OS sounds daunting; but the easier the process becomes, the more you can appreciate being afforded a fresh start in the makeup of your network and the control you are able to have over it at all times.

With a Novacoast assisted installation, the efficiency and easy of migration will leave you with more time to think about the opportunities it provides.

Not only should you be able to look forward to working with a new, more functional and flexible OS, but you should also be thinking about how you are able – now more than ever – to finally demand the total visibility and command over every workstation within your network.

Because Novacoast uses the features offered by Novell ZENworks in the Windows 7 migration process, installation will carry with it an opportunity for a ZENworks install that can expand the control you’ve had over your workstations and build total visibility into your network.

Check out the latest OnsITe video to learn how Novacoast can use this migration to improve overall management of your network and workstations.

Making a Windows 7 Migration Easy

Windows 7 is here, it’s ready to go, and most businesses are not. For most of us in business, full network implementation of a brand new OS is just about the last thing we want to think about.

But the fact is, if you’re currently using a Windows OS, you cannot put off migration forever. Whether we’re ready or not, technology moves quickly – in one direction, and one direction only – and unfortunately you can’t stay still for long without falling behind. XP’s term of service has been exemplary - it’s gone above and beyond the call of duty, but it’s time to let it retire.

Luckily, there’s a lot of help out there.

Novacoast has perfected a migration plan that can take a lot of the pain and toil out of the process. An installation carried out with Novacoast can reliably deliver all customized features relied on by your business, and significantly cut implementation time.

Watch the latest OnsITe video to find out what Novacoast is doing to make this process as painless and easy as possible

Find out how Novacoast is able to use Novell ZENworks to make migration much less of a headache.
