White papers

Looking for a good read? Try the latest NetWare white paper:

What's New on the NetWare Kernel of Novell Open Enterprise Server: With the introduction of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, customers not only have a platform to meet their networking infrastructure needs of a distributed environment, but they also now have a platform for deploying enterprise-level applications. However, for many, NetWare may still be the preferred choice for file, print and networking services. The dual-platform Novell Open Enterprise Server provides that choice. Novell has devoted significant resources to enhance NetWare and to add functionality that customers are looking for. This paper outlines the new features and enhancements that will be added to Novell Open Enterprise Server for the NetWare platform.
