WALTHAM, Mass. — June 23, 2004 — Novell announced today the June 28 availability of Novell® ZENworks® 6.5, which allows organizations to consolidate the management of their IT resources and reduce the costs of managing their environment throughout the entire business lifecycle of desktops, laptops, servers and handhelds.
Novell ZENworks 6.5 now includes ZENworks Linux* Management (formerly Ximian® Red Carpet Enterprise™) to provide secure, scalable and centralized management of SUSE® LINUX and Red Hat Linux server and desktop systems.
A special edition of InstallShield's AdminStudio* provides automation of software packaging, customization and quality assurance to ensure reliable applications for enterprise use. The AdminStudio ZENworks Edition distribution wizard tightly integrates with ZENworks to automatically create application objects for easy distribution of software packages.

Press releases:

• Novell ZENworks 6.5 Provides Reliable Identity-Based Systems Management Across Multiple Platforms
• InstallShield's AdminStudio shipping with Novell ZENworks 6.5

Apparently this means that Novell has ended their partnership (http://www.novell.co...de/p100116.html) which they had with Wise Solutions (http://www.wise.com/....asp?PressID=55) and instead are now cooperating with InstallShield. This comes as no suprise since Wise is now owned by Altiris, a direct competitor to Novell.
