"When Dell announced a buyout of systems management appliance
company KACE last week, there was one big question customers wanted
to ask -- did that mean support for Macs and Linux was about to get
dumped from its products?
"A large part of KACE's business has been Windows-focused,
especially with many companies seeking to migrate directly from
Windows XP to Windows 7, KACE marketing vice president Wynn White
told APC. However, even smaller organisations (KACE's main target)
typically have to deploy and manage multiple OSes, White noted, and
support for Max and Linux platforms has been a major selling point
for the company since it begin selling its appliances in 2005."
