Small Biz Prices
Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition is priced aggressively, a stark contrast to the high licensing costs of all-proprietary software stacks. In fact, one Novell suite license supports up to 200 users, while Microsoft Small Business Server supports only 75 users per license. And if you purchase Microsoft Small Business Server 2008, you’ll have to purchase Microsoft Office separately. The Novell edition of OpenOffice.org—which runs on both Windows and Linux desktops provides 90 percent of the same functionality as Microsoft Office, supports Microsoft Office formats, and is included with Novell Open Workgroup Suite at no extra cost.
Unlike the Microsoft alternative, with Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition you're entitled to deploy up to 5 physical servers to host collaboration services or any application that supports SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. You can also install an unlimited number of virtualized SUSE Linux Enterprise Server guests (limited only by hardware).
You can save up to 75 percent on your software acquisition costs by selecting Novell Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition instead of a Windows-centric environment from Microsoft.
