Well, ZENworks does more than just push applications out to PCs. Inventory, Disk
Imaging (which by the way is Linux based), Desktop Policy Management (Which uses
Window's Policy Management - but it's centralized and VERY easy to configure,
use, and distribute), and Workstation Remote Control. Even if Netware is going
the way of the do-do, ZENworks is very powerful and there really is nothing that
can compete with it. That's why Novell decided to port it to Windows. So you
don't even need a Netware Server to use it. With ZENworks for Desktops 4 you
don't need the Novell client since it's 100% internet standard based - As is
Netware 6 BTW. Novell realized that the client is clucky that's why they got rid
of it. ZENworks for Servers works with Netware, Windows, and Linux and make
administering multiple servers from a central location a snap. Then there is
ZENworks for Handhelds that makes administering and controlling those numerous
PDAs that are quickly becoming a permanent part of corporate environments. They
are all controlled with one utility (ConsoleOne) and are tightly integrated in
eDirectory - the most robust, feature full, directory service available. Which
also runs on Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and of course Netware - and their
practically giving it away.
