2. ZENworks for Servers Presenter Name Title

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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.

6. Our management products ZENworks for Desktops 2.0 The best desktop management and software distribution product for Win32 desktops. ZENworks for Optimized Networks The first vendor-independent DEN-enabled network device management product. Shipping Q1 ‘00. ManageWise Server and Network Monitoring. ZENworks for Servers Policy Management and Software Distribution for NetWare.

7. 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

8. 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?

9. Minimum Requirements NetWare 4.11, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1 TCP/IP Stack on each server Service Pack 8 for NW4.x, SP4 for NW5.0 128 MB RAM 135 MB Free disk space 200 MHz Pentium processor JVM & Java Class Libraries installed (on the ZfS CD) ConsoleOne (uses 1.2b19)

10. Server Policies contain: Set commands Down server Schedule down/restart Load/run NLM, Java Script Run Netbasic, NCF, Perl SNMP agent configuration: Trap target Community strings Text File processing

11. Policy management Looks and feels much like ZENworks for Desktops

12. SET parameter policy Set Parameter Policy ­Standard server configuration ­Queries a single server for Set Parameter template ­Policy maintains set parameter configuration ­Run on schedule to enforce settings ­Can run reports to identify servers that were not already in compliance

13. Server Down Policy Automate steps used in server down process Ensures compliance with procedures Provides down override conditions based on files, processes, users etc. Sets time to delay before the server goes down Disables Login Send Down Alerts via email, snmp Sends broadcast messages to logged in users Automates sequential application unload

14. Load/Run Policy Load or Unload NLM’s Load or Unload Java processes Scheduled by time, frequency, date, or run immediately

15. Script Run policy Run NCF files Run Netbasic scripts Run Perl scripts

16. SNMP Agent configuration Configure Trap Targets Configure Community strings

17. Text File policy Configure NCF and any other text file Append to end Prepend to beginning Search and Replace Create new files Delete files

18. Tiered Electronic Distribution Distributor Subscriber Proxy Subscriber Distributor Subscriber Proxy/ Subscriber Proxy Subscriber

19. Use Proxies to save bandwidth

20. 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

21. 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.

22. Server Software Packages Very similar to a ZENworks for Desktops Application Object

23. Server Software Package Requirements Set pre-conditions that must be met before a distribution will occur OS version Physical Memory Free Disk Space Set Parameters NetWare Server Registry Settings File existence, non-existence Products.dat entries

24. 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

25. 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

26. 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.

27. Registry Settings In your distribution, you can: Update and change the Novell server registry (similar to a Windows registry, exists on every NetWare server)

28. 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)

29. 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

30. 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

31. 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.

32. 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.
