SAP Taps Novell for StreamWork Collaboration Service

"At the heart of the SAP StreamWork appliance is Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), which is the underlying operating system technology. Novell has technology called the SUSE Linux Appliance Toolkit that enables software vendors to build software appliances with SLES.

"Novell and SAP already have Linux appliance integration with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications offering.

"'StreamWork is a little different in that when you buy it, you get SLES underneath it,' Josh Dorfman, Novell's director of global alliances marketing, told InternetNews.com. 'With SLES for SAP applications, there are wizards and workflows to get things up and running, but this is different in that StreamWorks has already been pre-configured.'"
