Market snapshot (detail)

Situation• Market momentum is with two server

operating systems - Windows and Linux

• 70%+ of customers have data centers that include both Windows and Linux

• However, customers are only using paid support for about half of the Linux that is deployed

Consideration• 1.3M non-paid Linux server OS

deployments

• Customer benefits of paid Linux subscriptions

• Developing and delivering interoperability are complicated tasks

• Requires a significant and sustained commitment• Microsoft and Novell have built a 2500 sq ft

interoperability lab in Cambridge MA• Novell and Microsoft engineers working together to

test our joint solutions• The lab is a significant part of our engineering

process• Supported by 80+ servers and a SAN from the

leading chip vendors and HW vendors

The market has respondedNovell’s growth now leads the industry

The Microsoft / Novell agreement has led to substantial shifts in the Linux market based on customers choosing the benefits of SUSE Linux Enterprise with Microsoft partnership.

• Growth for paid Novell subscriptions grew 38.6% YoY in 2007 (industry’s highest growth rate)

• vs. 20.9% for Red Hat

• Novell grew 3 points of share to 29%

• vs. 2 point decline for Red Hat

• Major shift in non-paid Linux towards licensed / subscription Linux

• Non-paid Linux accounted for 54% of total Linux subscriptions/deployments in 2006, 49% in 2007

• Customers see increased value in Linux support programs and other relationship benefits

“That surge, thanks to the company's partnership and interoperability efforts with Microsoft, led to a highly successful year for Novell in 2007. The surge also led to a slight decrease in Red Hat's market share”

Customers using virtualization today report savings in hardware costs, as well as costs for energy and real estate

The business case for virtualization

Save money and reduce complexity•Server consolidation and increased CPU utilization

•Cost savings through reduced hardware, power and space requirements

•Cost and administration savings through simplified management & backup

Improve responsiveness and performance•Rapid workload migration through VM hosting on newer, faster hardware

•Improve network performance via virtual data center

•Ability to add/tune resources based on changing performance requirements

Increase flexibility and enable “Just In Time” computing•Easily deploy, provision and remove VMs across multiple locations based on immediate needs using saved templates

•Ability to easily create test environments with snapshots

•Rapid disaster recovery through saved VM images
