Microsoft and Novell Deliver on Virtualization Interoperability

Linked by Amjith Ramanujam on Fri 19th Sep 2008 21:53 UTC

Microsoft and Novell have made good on their 2006 interoperability pact. Microsoft and Novell jointly announced that Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise has been optimized to run as an "enlightened" guest on Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor platform. Windows Server 2008 customers have been able to run as a virtualized guest on SUSE since last June, when SUSE became the first member of Microsoft's Server Virtualization Validation Program, which Novell has helped to fine-tune. Now SUSE is optimized to run on Microsoft's Hyper-V as well.

"Replace Sharepoint on the server with Alfresco.

In fact, replace the whole server with a Linux server, and then put Alfresco and OpenXchange on that.

There is your no-lockout end-to-end collaboration and e-mail system.

Much cheaper too!

I'm sure there are a number of other open source solutions ... but the essential smart move is to get rid of sharepoint itself.

But the problem is - you never addressed the issue which I said; there needs to be integrated between OpenOffice.org and the said sharepoint alternative - in your example Alfresco. Unless there is the same level of integration between Alfresco and OpenOffice.org as there is with Sharepoint and Office on the client, people aren't going to use it.

I appreciate the link to Alfresco, but it doesn't address the requirements of what I said in the previous post - for a drop in replacement replacement for Sharepoint/Office system that is feature for feature equal or superior to what Microsoft offers. "

Ask and you shall receive.

The purpose of the Extension is to provide Alfresco functionality from within OpenOffice.org. This functionality includes the ability to: navigate Alfresco spaces, search and open documents; check documents in and out; view document details; and invoke some actions, such as work flow steps.
