Novell Announces NetWare Telephony Services 2.21 OREM, Utah -- February 12, 1996 -- Novell, Inc. today announced the release of NetWare Telephony Services 2.21, bringing the power of NetWare Directory Services (NDS) to Novell's network telephony integration system. NetWare Telephony Services connects computer networks and telephone systems, allowing existing line-of-business applications to automate and integrate call handling with business processes. Network applications that use NetWare Telephony Services are able to place calls, route calls, report system wide telephone activity and provide call-related information simultaneously with the call. NetWare Telephony Services 2.21 is fully integrated with NetWare 4.1, so administrators can manage their systems using the familiar NetWare 4.1 administration interface and NetWare Directory Services (NDS). This means the telephony server can be securely administered from anywhere in the network, under the same policies and using the same tools as the rest of the network. Additionally, NetWare Telephony Services uses NDS to assign telephone services and user rights to users who already exist on a network; it saves the administrator from the time and effort required to build a separate telephony database that would create administrative duplication. NetWare Telephony Services 2.21 also supports TCP/IP connections natively between the telephony server and Windows 3.1 clients. This TCP/IP support makes NetWare Telephony Services the only network telephony solution designed to work in a pure TCP/IP environment as well as an IPX/SPX environment. NetWare Telephony Services is based on Novell's Telephony Services Application Programming Interface (TSAPI), that represents the de facto international call processing standard: CSTA. Its foundation in this standard has attracted broad industry support. Today, more than 16 switch drivers and 43 applications are available in use by customers world wide. Pricing and availability NetWare Telephony Services 2.21 is available immediately. Licenses are available for 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 250 users at prices ranging from $1,295 for 5 users to $26,995 for 250 users. Upgrade pricing is also available for users of previous versions of NetWare Telephony Services. Novell (NASDAQ:NOVL) is the world's leading networking software provider. Novell software provides the infrastructure for a networked world, enabling our customers to connect with other people and the information they need, anytime, anyplace. Novell partners with other technology and market leaders to help customers make networks a part of their everyday lives.
