A web

Novell, discussing the new Novell Zenworks Application Virtualization product.
http://www.novell.com/products/zenworks/applicationvirtualization/
October 2008
We did not have an outside speaker in October. A discussion did take place
about Ed's desire to purchase a new server to replace his Netware 6.5 server.
The consensus was to set up the new server with Linux, VM-Ware for servers, MS
Server 2008 Small Business, and migrate his existing Netware server into a
virtual space.
Ed was also looking to solve a problem at home. His wife has a notebook that
needs to connect to the internet through wireless, but she is not allowed to
modify this work system that does not have wireless. Ed though he could get a
wireless device that would allow an Ethernet output from his wireless network. A
search was done on-line and success is eminent (see
picture).
September 2008
We did not have an outside speaker in September. An on-line presentation was
scheduled but did not happen due to unforeseen circumstances.

Patrick Rouse of Quest Software did a WebEx Presentation.
Patrick's presentation will discuss the new trend of enterprise desktop
migration to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). (VDI is the practice
of hosting a desktop operating system within a virtual machine (VM) running on a
centralized server, and accessing those VMs via thin clients). Patrick will
describe the architecture of an effective VDI solution, the appropriate hardware
to support VDI, and how to configure typical XP Guests for best performance in a
VMware environment for security and scalability. He will also give a demo of
how the Quest/Provision Network Virtual Access Suite integrates with and extends
the functionality of VMware's Virtual Center to help manage VDI. PowerPoint
presentaion is available here
Patrick Rouse is a Microsoft MVP for Microsoft Terminal Server, as well as a
Sales Engineer, for the Provision Networks Division of Quest Software. He is
also an accomplished information systems author, integrator and consultant.

presented Riva
Collaboration Integration and CRM Integration. I think you will be excited by
this presentation. Riva is opening up GroupWise to be able to integrate and
automate like never before.
Attendees will receive a free Riva CRM Desktop Edition license
(one per company). Riva CRM for GroupWise provides transparent synchronization
for contacts, appointments, tasks, opportunities, quotes, cases, etc. CRM
integration just doesn't get any better!
http://www.omni-ts.com/crm-integration/
Omni will also present how Riva Managed Policies allow GroupWise
to manage itself.
How often have you asked yourself as a GroupWise administrator,
"Wouldn't it be nice if, when I create, modify or move a user, GroupWise would
automatically manage ...
1. the user's distribution lists
2. the calendar content for the user account
3. shared address books for the user account
4. shared folders based on eDirectory values
5. the user signature based on eDirectory values
6. authorized senders for Secure Distribution Lists
7. ...
Let GroupWise manage itself!
