Novell released SUSE Gallery, a new online showcase for registered SUSE Studio users to publish their appliances and cloud-based applications.
With SUSE Gallery, end users can browse published appliances for the solution to their particular commercial or personal need, and then download the appliance free of charge. With an appliance, the end user avoids the typical installation and configuration headaches that come with many traditional software applications.
For independent software vendors (ISVs) and other software developers, SUSE Gallery represents an opportunity to broaden the exposure of their application and reach an entirely new audience.
?A year after its debut, the SUSE Appliance Program has helped ISVs simplify distribution and deployment of their applications, get to market faster and reduce support costs for themselves and their customers,? said Parag Patel, vice president, Global Strategic Alliances, VMware.
SUSE Gallery is the latest addition to the SUSE Appliance Program, which is celebrating its one-year anniversary today. The SUSE Appliance Program is a comprehensive business and technology program that helps ISVs simplify appliance creation, reduce development and support costs, and extend applications to the cloud.
