Silver and Ready Partners

Silver and Ready partners may add their products to the Partner Product Guide via the Novell Ready Program.

Gold and Platinum Partners

Gold and Platinum partners may complete an unlimited number of YES software certifications for eligible kernel-space products (see below).

Eligible Software Products

Novell provides YES certification for Backup Software Products and for Linux kernel-space software products. Because user-space software products generally do not compromise system stability, they may be added directly to the Partner Product Guide via the Novell Ready Program.

YES certification for NetWare NLMs is provided based on business-case.

Certification tools:

• Backup Software Products (Linux and NetWare)—Backup Test Tools
• Linux Kernel-Space Software Products—Online Software Certification
• NetWare NLMs—email request to swcerts@novell.com
• All Other Software Products—Novell Ready Program
