Directory-Enabled Management
• Novell is a leader in Directory-Enabled Workstation management, and we are now becoming a leader in Server and Network Management
• Leadership and involvement in DEN and DMTF groups
• ZENworks for Desktops, Servers, and Networks gives us a complete solution
![Page 4: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Policy Management REQUIRES a directory!
• Without a directory, you can’t relate the user and the device to the policy.
• Novell has the best directory, therefore we are best positioned to deliver directory-enabled management
• ZENworks for Desktops, Servers, and Networks delivers an end-to-end solution that only Novell can give you

Open Standards means multi-vendor support
• Novell is committed to the DMI, WBEM, and DEN standards to provide the ability to manage many desktops, switches and routers, and takes advantage of built in desktop management interfaces.

ZENworks for Servers 1.0
• Policy-based management• Policies automate and enforce procedures or actions a server
takes in response to an event, or on a set schedule
• Server software packages• Groups of files packaged together for distribution, can also
contain applications with installation automation
• Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED)• Scaleable server-to-server using proxies to increase efficiency
and reduce bandwidth utilization
![Page 8: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Can ZENworks for Servers help you?
• Could you benefit from automated server management?• Do you need to reduce the time it takes to manage each
individual server on the network?• Do you currently manually distribute files or software to
multiple servers using batch files or other primitive methods?• Do you need a solution for automating and managing the
deployment of server applications to any point on the network?
• Do you plan on growing or changing your servers to meet business needs in the near future?

Use Proxies to save bandwidth
![Page 20: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tiered Electronic Distribution
• Distributor• Provides Server Software Packages to a proxy or a Subscriber
• Proxy• Takes Server Software Packages from a Distributor, mirrors
them, and provides them to a Subscriber
• Subscriber• Takes Server Software Packages from a Distributor or a Proxy
and applies them to its own file system
• A single server can run as a Distributor, Proxy, and Subscriber, they are individual Java processes on the server
![Page 21: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tiered Electronic Distribution
• Channels• A channel is how the distributor gets the data to
the proxy or subscriber. • A distributor defines a channel, and proxies and
subscribers subscribe to the channel. • A distributor can host multiple channels, so you
could have an accounting channel, a human resources channel, etc… to apply different packages to different servers.

Server Software Packages
Very similar to a ZENworks for Desktops Application Object
![Page 23: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

![Page 24: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Pre-Install Automation
• Before running the file distribution, you can:• Load/Unload NLM’s• Load/Unload Java Processes• Run NCF’s• Run Netbasic scripts• Run PERL script
![Page 25: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
File Copy
• In your distribution, you can• Copy files to arbitrary directories/volumes• Set copy-over rules (copy if exists, if does not
exist, if newer, etc…)• Set attributes on the files• Set retry behavior if the file is locked
![Page 26: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SET parameter
• In your distribution, you can:• Update and change any arbitrary SET
parameters, based on an sample server’s set parameters, or set your own arbitrary set parameters.
![Page 27: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Registry Settings
• In your distribution, you can:• Update and change the Novell server registry
(similar to a Windows registry, exists on every NetWare server)
![Page 28: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PRODUCTS.DAT changes
• In your distribution, you can:• Update and change the PRODUCTS.DAT file
(the Novell server-based database which stores information on every product and service pack installed to the server)
![Page 29: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Post-Install Automation
• After running the file distribution, you can:• Load/Unload NLM’s• Load/Unload Java Processes• Run NCF’s• Run Netbasic scripts• Run PERL script• Down, restart or reboot the server
![Page 30: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why do you need ZENworks for Servers?
• You have multiple servers in multiple locations
• You would rather be doing real work than going server-to-server-to-server-to-server-to-server and doing updates
• You need scalable software distribution
![Page 31: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Sample ROI calculation
Assumption• You pay your admin $50,000 per year• Assuming 2000 work hours per year, that’s
$25.00 per hour• You have 50 servers• Applying a patch to each server would take
two hours per server• Applying a patch to each server using ZfS
takes two hours total.
![Page 32: ZENworks for Servers](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568152bd550346895dc0df0e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sample ROI calculation
• So, ZfS takes two hours, versus 100 hours for the manual method
• 98 hours saved * $25.00 per hour = $2,450.00 saved on just one single patch.
• Your mileage may vary, but you can certainly see that it takes less time and resources to do something once rather than do it many times.

Futures
• NT Support• Additional policies• Server and Network monitoring capabilities
