Microtronica on hand to bolster Novell sales

(from CRN press release by doug_woodburn[AT]vnu.co.uk)

Open source software vendor Novell has made an aggresive lunge for the Intel system builder channel by appointing Microtronica as its fifth UK and Ireland distributor

The alliance will see Arrow-owned Microtronica push Novell's SuSE Linux operating system as an alternative to Microsoft Vista.

Les Billing, managing director of Microtronica, said: " The goal of the partnership is to enable local system builders to be more competitive against tier-one vendors. They need a competitive alternative to Vista, and SuSE Linux Enterprise 10 offers that."

John Bainbridge, partner sales director UK and Ireland at Novell, told CRN that Novell is also aggressively targeting the Microsoft Gold partner space.

"We have had a lot of interest in our platform from Microsoft resellers," he claimed.
