No, Voloution was originally the Cosmos project at Caldera before the
buyout. It uses OpenLDAP and stuff like that; the next version should be
fairly useful.
It's not ZENworks, but it works across multiple distros and seems to do the
job well.
Who needs enterprise management software...people who actually work in the
enterprise space, ssh and vi don't cut it when you have to make changes on
more than 20 machines. It's too time consuming and a waste of human assets
to expect people to do that, in order for Linux to scale to the Enterprise
it needs tools like Voloution. Solaris managed to get there buy being a
better platform for developers than the others early on in the game. In any
market there's room for only one vendor with that mentality and Sun are
there.
