Novell
Networks are as necessary to today's businesses as furniture. Users take them for granted--but they're hardly sitting still. They're growing larger, yet they're becoming more manageable. As they assimilate additional services originally developed for the global Internet, they're gaining new flexibility in the ways they provide people access to computing resources and information anytime, anywhere. We call today's networks intranets.
IntranetWare™ is Novell's comprehensive platform for a modern, full-service intranet. Built on the foundation of Novell's industry-leading NetWare 4™ network operating system (NOS), IntranetWare provides both IP and IPX™ access to intranet resources such as Web servers, FTP servers, and WAN connections to the Internet. It lets you use your existing network infrastructure to make your networks do more for your business.
BUILD A FULL-SERVICE INTRANET
IntranetWare gives you all the services of a full-service intranet platform--file, print, directory, messaging, Web publishing, security, connectivity and management. It includes high-performance Web and FTP servers and all the software you need to give users on your network access to the Web and other popular TCP-based intranet and Internet services.
PRESERVE YOUR EXISTING INVESTMENT
With IntranetWare you can extend your existing Novell IPX network to meet your evolving needs--including access to the Internet and corporate intranet. There's no need to rip and replace. This means you can preserve your existing investment in equipment and training.
MANAGE YOUR INTRANET EASILY AND MAINTAIN DEPENDABLE SECURITY
At the heart of IntranetWare's management is Novell Directory Services™ (NDS™), which enables you to manage a network easily from any workstation on the network and allows you to maintain sophisticated access controls for all the resources on your intranet. And the NetWare® 4.11 core of IntranetWare is designed from the ground up to protect your confidential information. It is the only network operating system built to qualify for C2 network security certification. This means that the complete network system--server, client and media between--is all secure.
INTEGRATE ALL YOUR RESOURCES
IntranetWare supports Internet Protocol--with DHCP to simplify deployment of IP intranets--and offers an IPX/IP gateway to enable IPX networks to connect to IP resources. Its routing capabilities enable corporations to extend their intranets to their branch offices and to connect to the Internet via ISDN, frame relay, ATM or leased line. Add-on software from Novell enables you to make your mainframe and mid-range computers a part of your intranet, as well.
IntranetWare provides comprehensive client support for DOS, Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT, Macintosh, OS/2 and UNIX® workstations.
REDUCE YOUR COST OF OWNERSHIP
With the centralized administration enabled by NDS, you can dramatically reduce management and administration costs--the primary costs of operating a network. According to a 1995 IDC survey, network managers find they can increase the ratio of users per server nearly 50 percent using today's NetWare 4. NDS provides single-point administration for the entire network reducing the costs of staffing, travel and time. In addition, the high performance and scalability of IntranetWare allow you to support more users and processes per server.
IMPROVEMENTS TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY
IntranetWare features NOS improvements that save you management time and money, including: migration utilities to ease the move from NetWare 3™ to IntranetWare; hardware detection to speed up installation; symmetrical multiprocessing to increase the number of users you can support with each server; and new graphical administration tools.
