Overview

E. St. Elmo Lewis, once stated: "You generally hear that what a man doesn't know won't hurt him, but in business what a man doesn't know does hurt." From a computer network sense, "hurt" to an uninformed or misinformed small business owner can range anywhere from paying too much for software and a perpetual licensing agreement, to choosing to deploy a system with security holes that can cause catastrophic damage to his or her business.

As you consider deploying a new network, replacing an existing network or looking to ways to address some of the security and reliability problems in your existing network, we invite you to look to Novell?. After all, Novell helped found the corporate network market with the introduction of the LAN (Local Area Network) via the release of NetWare? in 1983. NetWare was the first LAN software based on fileserver technology—technology which is still the most common used network technology today. For over 20 years, the singular focus of Novell has been the advancement of computer networking and networkenabled tools including collaborative, management, Web and Web portal, storage, file system, printing, remote access, fault tolerance, directory services and much more. In fact, Novell holds over 300 networking technology patents.

While the technological contributions to computer networking from Novell are impressive, the company's recent ambitious addition of Linux* support and development is every bit as noteworthy. Linux, because of its open source licensing and Internet community development, is the fastestgrowing operating system in the world. Novell has wholeheartedly embraced the Linux movement and has made recent acquisitions to make Novell a leader in Linux development and adoption. Novell recently acquired Ximian?, a leading developer of Linux desktop, productivity applications and enterprise software management solutions. Novell followed this acquisition with the purchase of SUSE* Linux, one of the world's leading providers of Linux software and services and the largest dedicated Linux research and development team in the world. As worldwide adoption of Linux servers and desktops continues to grow, expect Novell to be one of the principal leaders providing quality Linux solutions.

Contrast Novell history and Linux initiatives with that of Microsoft* and the latter's history of proprietary PC workstation operating system and application development. Recognizing the exploding adoption of LANs following the release of NetWare, Microsoft introduced a series of network operating systems (NOS), which were in fact, loosely linked workstation technologies wrapped together, until today's Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. Despite nearly 20 years of worked and re-worked NOS products, a thorough examination of today's Windows 2003 Server reveals a patchwork of point solutions that, at the GUI (graphical user interface) level, paint a picture of feature-rich completeness but underneath, continue to be a loosely linked collection of aged workstation technologies with new interfaces, names, and patched-on server components. In short, Windows 2003 Server is still focused on end-user, GUI-based applications— office applications, games, personal productivity— while network services are an after thought.

This paper describes the Novell and Microsoft alternative approaches to small business networking suites. This analysis will provide you with the factual differences between the two suites and clearly show how Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 surpasses the Microsoft Windows 2003 Small Business Server editions in categories critical to small businesses.

A Choice that will impact your Business

With small business owners or operators handling many aspects of business, a common tendency is to rely on the expertise of someone who knows technology—a solution provider (also known as a value-added reseller or simply "reseller" or "VAR") to make recommendations on networking software. While it's never a bad policy to seek advice from experts, the ultimate decision and resulting consequences impact your business. It's therefore paramount that you understand your available options before making such a critical and farreaching business decision as the technology tools that your business will rely on for years to come.

Novell and Microsoft Small Business Suites

Novell provides small businesses a comprehensive and integrated suite of Novell networking tools including file and print services, collaboration, firewall, VPN (Virtual Private Network) and remote system management through its Novell Small Business Suite 6.5. Microsoft offers a somewhat similar suite of services in its Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard and Premium Editions. A high level comparison of these suites is found in the table below:

What matters most

A high level comparison of component products is informative, however, what about the issues that matter to you the most? The following are the biggest concerns of small businesses today:

  • Security
  • Reliability
  • Ease of Deployment and Administration
  • Total Cost of Ownership
  • Support for Line-of-Business Applications

Security

Security of a company's IT (information technology) assets is paramount to small businesses. Confidential information must remain protected; intruders from inside and outside the company must be blocked; e-mail and Web viruses must not be allowed to propagate within the business. Inadequate measures to maintain a high level of security can result in staggering losses to the business.

Novell and Microsoft have historically had fundamentally different philosophies when it comes to network security. This goes back to the exclusive Novell focus on networking, versus Microsoft's focus on applications. The following is from a recent article in Information Security: "From an office suite perspective, [Microsoft is] unparalleled in the way they've integrated stuff on the desktop and made it easy to use," says Richard Lee Doty, president of Vertex Technology Management, an integration firm that caters to large enterprises and government agencies. "I haven't seen a whole lot from them that shows they [Microsoft] want to work in a secure environment. Rather, they say, 'Here's how to make it work together, how to make it easy.' Easy doesn't necessarily make it secure."1

Microsoft's recent "Trustworthy Computing" campaign appears to many security analysts to be little more than lip service to security. According to the Information Security article, "Analysts say it could be three to five years before Trustworthy Computing bears fruit. Microsoft cautions that the initiative could take 10 to 15 years before reaching sustainable levels of acceptable security."2

The much touted security enhancements of Windows 2003 are mainly fixes to sloppy coding from earlier versions. Security holes were fixed by cleaning up code left over from Windows NT 3.51 and turning off services that were previously turned on. These measures, along with some new security features do little however to address the security vulnerabilities that Microsoft is known for.

Established in 1988, the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) is a center of Internet security expertise located at the Software Engineering Institute, a federally funded research and development center operated by Carnegie Mellon University. To truly grasp the extent of Microsoft's history of security vulnerabilities, one only need visit http://www.cert.org/advisories/. Choose any year, and view the extensive list of Microsoft advisories for that year. For example, of the 28 CERT/CC Advisories issued in 2003, 12 pertained to Microsoft products.

In stark contrast to Microsoft's security flaws is Novell with its extremely secure architecture. NetWare-specific viruses of the same class as Windows viruses are nonexistent. Visiting the CERT/CC site above reveals that Novell has had only one issued advisory (which was quickly corrected) in the 16 years that CERT has been issuing advisories.

As far as collaboration, Microsoft's Exchange Server product has historically revealed a considerably greater number of security vulnerabilities than the Novell GroupWise product. This fact results in significantly higher Total Cost of Ownership and increased security risk for Exchange and Windows Small Business Server customers. At the close of 2003, Sophos, a world-leading specialist developer of anti-virus and anti-spam software, published its top ten viruses of the year. The worms and viruses resulted in billions of dollars in damage and the principal acquisition and transmission means was Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange. Businesses running GroupWise throughout their organizations however, were protected.

? ?Infect? in this sense means infect GroupWise natively. In other words, GroupWise, unlike Exchange and Outlook was not the means of carrying and spreading the viruses and worms listed above. Because of GroupWise's built-in measures for security, organizations running GroupWise Clients exclusively did not receive these viruses and worms through e-mail. However, if an organization using GroupWise had at least one client using the Outlook client instead of the GroupWise Client, the virus could activate and spread through access to GroupWise resources.

Virus and worm activity on the network can impact GroupWise's ability to function during attacks, even though the virus or worm cannot leverage GroupWise itself.

Perhaps P.J. Connolly said it best when he stated in an InfoWorld article that "No messaging system is invulnerable, but it is clear that using Microsoft Exchange is asking for trouble, because many attackers take advantage of the product's integration with other Microsoft technologies, which unfortunately allows hackers to quickly compromise or disable clients and servers alike. GroupWise isn't so vulnerable." 3

Reliability

Small businesses who utilize a computer network have critical dependencies on server and application reliability. Unlike large enterprises, small businesses rarely have the clustering and high availability infrastructure provided by banks of file servers. It is essential therefore that the network system and applications stay up and running as much as possible. Any downtime equates to lost business.

"Uptime" describes a measurement, often expressed as a percentage, where 100% uptime is perfect. If 100% is perfect, is 90% pretty good? Not unless you are satisfied with a system that is available only nine out of every ten days. That's why NetWare strives, and reaches, 99.999% uptime with the proper configurations.

At Novell, reliability means a service that continues to function until it is stopped on purpose. Novell NetWare reliability is legendary. ZDNet's Steven Vaughan-Nichols echoes what so many network administrators have known for decades saying NetWare "corners the market" on stability. He notes, "Between reboots, I've run NT for weeks, Windows 2000, Linux and UNIX servers for months, and NetWare 3.1x/4.x for years."4

Exchange and Outlook are notorious for problems with reliability and system corruption. The regularity in which Microsoft Outlook .pst files become corrupted has caused Microsoft to document specific procedures in their support knowledge base to help users attempt to recover from these types of corruptions (see item Q287497 in the Microsoft knowledge base).

GroupWise delivers the highest reliability of any messaging system. Several GroupWise customers report that they have had servers run for over a year without a single interruption. Through its support for clustering, GroupWise also provides businesses a high availability messaging solution, delivering fault tolerance and 24x7 operation even in the event of system hardware failures.

InfoWorld's Oliver Rist comments on ZENworks for Desktops stability during an intensive attempt to crash the product. "Once installed, ZENWorks is truly an excellent desktop management tool. Deploying or even pushing new applications to workstations anywhere on the network is a bit different than when using [Microsoft] SMS, if that's what you've used until now. But once you become accustomed to the new syntax, the software simply works. I never crashed it once, even during my learning phase, though I did have to back out of a few missteps."5

Ease of Deployment and Administration

A suite of small business network products should not be hard to deploy and administer. Many small businesses don't have IT departments or full-time network administrators to learn the intricacies of multiple tools and configuration "gotchas."

Resellers who service these small businesses need the ability to quickly analyze and solve network problems or make needed configuration changes, with the option of doing so from a remote site. When deploying products from the suite, easy-touse installation and configuration patterns and wizards for both the server and workstation are highly desirable.

The table below summarizes some of the advantages Novell Small Business Suite has over Microsoft 2003 Small Business Server in terms of deployment and administration:

NOVELL SMALL BUSINESS SUITE 6.5 WINDOWS 2003
SMALL BUSINESS SERVER		 NOVELL ADVANTAGE
Web-based management—Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 includes iManager, a Web-based management console that provides single-point access and control for all NetWare network resources. iManager manages servers, users, storage, printing, Web services, DHCP/DNS/FTP/iSCSI and NSS. Windows 2003 includes several different Windows-based management utilities including Microsoft Management Console and Group Policy Management Console. iManager allows administrators to comprehensively manage all resources through one interface. The interface is accessible from any point on the Internet. Administration is simplified through consistency and administrators are free to work from any location that is convenient. Administrators can manage server processes and configure or upgrade servers remotely.
eDirectory—Novell Small Business Suite includes the world's leading directory service technology for securely and easily managing all network resources. Windows 2003 includes Active Directory for managing users, file access and Windows devices. Based on a domain model and integrated with other domains by forest connections. eDirectory is still a significantly superior technology with inference and inheritance. Active Directory lacks relationship and context management of resources which limits the ability to manage by class. eDirectory is more flexible and extensible, more easily managed, better performing and more reliable.
ZENworks for Desktops—From a remote location you can automate the setup, updating, healing and migration of desktops, and the services and applications they run. New personality migration capabilities let you seamlessly move or restore a full desktop work environment, including personal settings and application settings. A Microsoft-comparable product is not included in its Windows 2003 Small Business Server products. The inclusion of ZENworks for Desktops provides a substantial set of remote desktop management capabilities designed to automatically install, configure, or correct desktop configur- ations—tasks traditionally done through costly and time-consuming at-site visits.
Installation and configuration— Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 includes new pattern deployment installation options that automatically configure and tune a server for a specific use. Preconfigured servers include:
  • DNS/DHCP Server
  • exteNd? J2EE Web Application Server
  • LDAP Server
  • NetWare AMP (Apache MySQL, PHP/Perl) Server
  • NetWare Backup Server
  • NetWare Web Server
  • Nterprise? Branch Office? Server
  • Apache/Tomcat Server
  • Network Attached Store (NAS) Server
  • iSCSI Storage Server
  • Management Server
  • Novell iFolder? Server
  • Virtual Office Server
  • Novell Small Business Collaboration Server
  • Novell Small Business Collaboration Server with Virtual Office
Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 also includes the following client configuration wizards:
  • Setting Up Internet Connectivity
  • Setting Up DNS
  • Setting Up DHCP
  • Setting Up Printing
  • Setting Up e-mail
 Windows 2003 provides various Role installations which are lists of components to include. Pattern deployments in NetWare are available for specific purposes with optimal server and parameter settings. Windows 2003 Roles are only selected components with no customized optimization. Installing Roles on top of each other is possible, creating opportunity for data loss and configuration corruption.

The client configuration wizards provided with Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 are extremely easy to use, allowing virtually anyone to install and configure workstations with these network services.

Total Cost of Ownership

Small businesses looking to deploy, migrate, upgrade, expand or even consolidate cannot overlook the overall cost of ownership. Any hardware, software, servicing and in Microsoft's case—perpetual license costs, must be kept to a minimum.

Across several categories of costs, Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 consistently provides better value than either Windows Small Business Server 2003 products.

At the core of the small business suite products are NetWare provided by Novell and Windows provided by Microsoft. From the perspective of file and print services alone, a Gartner Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) study conducted at WFS Financial indicated software, hardware, and administration costs for NetWare were 52% less expensive than Windows NT/2000.6



With no changes to the Windows architecture in 2003 and only minor changes to management utilities, NetWare will remain less expensive to own and implement.

TCO advantages are even more pronounced when comparing Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 (which includes NetWare 6.5) and the Windows 2003 Small Business Server products.

NOVELL SMALL BUSINESS SUITE 6.5 WINDOWS 2003
SMALL BUSINESS SERVER		 NOVELL ADVANTAGE
Products Included—NetWare 6.5: file, print, Web, exteNd application server, Web services, IDE, database, eDirectory, iPrint, Novell iFolder, Nterprise Branch Office, Web-based iManager, Server Consolidation Utility, Virtual Office Portal/Virtual Teams, eGuide, DirXML Starter Pack, Native File Access. GroupWise 6.5: e-mail, calendaring, secure instant-messaging, task management, document manage- ment. BorderManager 3.8: firewall, VPN, proxy cache. ZENworks for Desktops 4: application management, hardware inventory, remote control. Windows 2003 Server: file, print, Active Directory, application sharing. SharePoint Services 2.0: document management. Exchange Server 2003: e-mail, calendaring, task management. Shared Fax Service: faxing capabilities. The following products are available only in the Premium Edition: ISA Server 2000: firewall, proxy cache, VPN. SQL Server 2000: relational database. Front Page: Web authoring. Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 provides a more expansive set of network services providing you the ability to expand your network's capability and performance, without having to buy additional products.
Licensing—Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 licensing is user priced with an MSRP of $95 per user. There is no charge for a server license. A five- user purchase, for example, would therefore be $475.00 U.S. A five-user version of Standard Edition has an MSRP of $599.00 U.S. The Premium Edition is $1499.00 U.S. Microsoft's confusing licensing policies are structured so that "Software Assurance" is added into the license price. Software Assurance is about a 29% increase in the price of each user license. Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 is priced lower than both the Standard and Premium versions of Windows 2003 Small Business Server. Factoring in Microsoft's Software Assurance license cost add-ons, the cost savings for Novell is dramatic.
Servers—Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 allows for up to five server licenses in each deployment, at no additional software cost. This is not only a great deal, it's assurance that the Novell Small Business Suite environment can grow as your business grows. With each version of Windows 2003 Small Business Server, there is only a single server license. You cannot add new servers and server licenses to a Windows 2003 Small Business Server network.
If your business grows to a point where new servers are required, you will have to rip and replace your Windows 2003 Small Business Server with new Microsoft server offering.		 Many small businesses utilize multiple servers. For example, one server for file and print, another for firewall. With Novell, you won't be charged for each server license (up to five). With Microsoft, you won't be able to add additional server licenses even if you wanted to pay for them. When your business grows, and you seek efficiencies through additional servers, your network services won't be able to grow with a Windows 2003 Small Business Server network.
Hardware—Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 products on average require less hardware power to provide the same level of capability as Windows 2003 Small Business Server products. Less efficient design in Windows 2003 Server requires more RAM and proces- sing power to provide a comparable level of functionality and service provided with the Novell Small Business Suite 6.5. Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 hardware costs are much less for the same level of functionality and user or application support. Example: MySQL application can support a maximum of 50 users on a Windows 2003 Server, but 1200-1300 users on NetWare 6.5 with the same hardware.
User License Maximums—Novell Small Business Suite 6.5 allows a configur- ation of up to 100 user licenses. Windows 2003 Small Business Server allows up to 75 users or devices, but Microsoft's own marketing collateral states that the product is "designed for businesses with ? 50 users.7" Novell Small Business Suite is a better environment for small business with plans for growth—in revenue, employees and network services.
User Support—Self service, eDirectory management, NetStorage, iPrint, Virtual Office—all of these technologies and more make Novell Small Business Suite easier to support small business users. Windows 2003, with dependence on Windows clients, no included portal or Web-based self service features and patchwork administration requires higher levels of user support. Support costs with Novell are lower. Users can do more for themselves through the Web, and ZENworks for Desktops along with eDirectory simplify user provisioning and administration.
Administration—ZENworks for Desktops, iManager, eDirectory, and advanced capacity allow administrators to manage more users and resources with less effort. For very small businesses without an IT department, solution providers can even manage a Novell Small Business Suite system remotely. ZENworks for Desktops can also generate a quantifiable return on your investment (ROI) of more than 2,000 percent.8 Windows 2003 includes some administration enhancements but basic management is still awkward and time consuming. A Gartner TCO study found that Windows is 41% more costly to administer and maintain than NetWare in some enterprise environments.9
Migration—Change takes place even in small businesses. NetWare 6.5's Consolidation Utility and eDirectory flexibility make it easier to work between versions, migrate from other sources, reorganize and rearchitect. Windows mainly provides an upgrade tool that requires ripping and replacing an earlier version to bring it current with the latest version. Reorganizing, accommodating mergers and acquisitions, or rearchitecting are much less costly with Novell. A Gartner study indicates it costs nearly twice as much to migrate from NetWare to Windows than to upgrade to newer versions of NetWare.
Servicing Costs—Novell technology is synonymous with performance and reliability. Products are designed for exceptional stability and dependability. This commitment directly benefits small businesses by reducing or even eliminating servicing costs. The aforementioned security and performance deficiencies inherent in Windows 2003 Server require more on-site servicing. These services typically include re-booting, re-configuring, and taking measures to repair damage from Outlook/ Exchange perpetuated viruses. Simply stated, resellers who deploy Novell products spend less time billing their customers with service calls than their counterparts who deploy Windows Server networks. Novell maintains an extensive library of stories where customers realized dramatic savings in servicing costs after replacing their Windows Server environment with Novell.

Support for Line-of-Business Applications

A common belief among resellers who deploy Microsoft Windows Server as their exclusive network operating system is line-of-business applications— those applications that run your small business— are not supported in a Novell environment. In most cases, this is simply not true.

The large majority of applications written to the Windows operating system can function as well, and in some cases even better, in a NetWare environment than in the Windows environment for which the application was designed. Support for Novell NetWare can range at a minimum to a mapped network drive, where NetWare can provide secure data storage and access and advanced network printing services. In addition, hundreds of line-of-business applications can be installed and run from a NetWare server. In many cases, the NetWare server can be the host for the line-of-business application's database. Applications built using Pervasive, Extended Systems' Advantage Database Server, and MySQL all perform optimally with NetWare as the host.

In addition, NetWare 6.5 includes and fully supports AMP technologies—open source services that are widely used for creation of Web-based applications and services. Apache Web server, MySQL database server, and PHP and Perl scripting languages are included and supported as part of the Novell open source solution. The Tomcat servlet container is also included. Using these component open source technologies, Web application developers develop enterprise-class, distributed applications for any type of organization. These services run on NetWare and benefit from high security and tight eDirectory integration.

There are hundreds of open source applications available through AMP Web sites such as http:// www.hotscripts.com or http://sourceforge.net, with more being written and submitted each day. Because of NetWare support for the Apache Web server, MySQL database server, and PHP and Perl scripting languages, any and all of these applications can operate in a Novell Small Business Suite network.

Although open source AMP technologies run on Windows, Microsoft does not support them. Novell however, provides technical support for open source technologies included with NetWare 6.5, giving organizations that choose to deploy AMP applications a higher level of confidence.

Summary

When determining the solution to power your small business network, strongly consider security, reliability, ease of deployment and administration, TCO, and support for line-of-business applications. Novell clearly outperforms Microsoft in security, reliability, ease of deployment and administration, and TCO, and supports hundreds of line-ofbusiness applications.

In addition to these considerations, Novell Small Business Suite offers a much more expansive set of network services such as Web services, Virtual Office, Nterprise Branch Office, document management, ZENworks for Desktops, and much, much more.

You've put in countless hours of attention to other aspects of your business. Now take the time to talk to your Novell reseller and see how he or she can give your small business the security, reliability, performance, piece of mind and cost savings you deserve.
