Novell and Tencent, reportedly China's biggest Internet service portal, have set up a research lab in Shenzhen, China, to jointly develop an Internet Data Center (IDC) cloud computing platform.
Tencent, which is supposed to have 480 million active users and 568.6 million IM accounts, is going to use SUSE Linux and PlateSpin Orchestrate as its auto-deployment system.
It's also suppose to use Novell's intelligent workload management solutions, including PlateSpin Workload Management, to create an IDC cloud platform that users can use to build, purchase and run business apps. IDC vendors typically lease resources from solution providers and resell them.
Tencent's operations, which include China's most visited Internet portal and its second-largest Internet shopping platform, already run on the Novell widgetry. Peak simultaneous online user accounts for IM services have reportedly been clocked at 105.3million.
