“As part of an expanded relationship launched today, VMware will
distribute and support Novell’s SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Under
the agreement, VMware will standardize its virtual appliance-based
products on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware added. Meanwhile,

ongoing virtualization relationship with Microsoft, and a separate
relationship with Citrix Systems.“Translation: Novell is using a surround-and-conquer strategy to
compete against RHEV, which is still a fledgling virtualization
option.”
