With just a few mouse clicks in the free Web-based Novell tool, SUSE Studio, an ISV can build, test and deploy a software appliance that is flexible enough to meet any customer need: software, virtual or on-demand and that can fully support a mission-critical operating system such as SUSE Linux Enterprise. Novell is leading the industry as the only vendor to provide a complete, end-to-end appliance solution for ISVs.

"Market trends such as cloud computing are revolutionizing the way businesses package, distribute and utilize software,” said Justin Steinman, Vice President of Solution and Product Marketing at Novell. “Software appliances provide an ideal platform for independent software vendors to pursue new markets and business models. With the SUSE Appliance Program, Novell is responding to this opportunity by delivering the first fully supported, complete technical and marketing solution to help our partners simplify appliance creation with SUSE Studio, reduce development and support costs, and enter new markets.”
