Novell Security Manager, powered by Astaro, is completely Linux-based and leverages all of the work done by the open source community in making it secure. As a Linux-based appliance, it also provides the ability to do everything possible to provide you with the most scalable and secure solution to meet stringent requirements. That's the advantage of using an open source platform like Linux.

As a complete network security solution that includes seven key applications and an integrated management platform, Novell Security Manager provides a wide range of sophisticated features but is also remarkably easy to deploy and manage.

Installation of all applications takes less than 20 minutes.
