Novell Announces Novell InnerWeb Publisher Provides Complete Solution for Publishing Internal Web Documents on Corporate Intranets INTERNET WORLD, SAN JOSE, Calif. -- April 30, 1996 -- Novell, Inc. today announced a corporate intranet publishing suite, Novell InnerWeb Publisher™, designed to bring the power of the World Wide Web to users' existing corporate networks. The suite includes the world's fastest web server, a web browser, a web-page authoring tool, an IPX-to-IP translator and the NetWare 4.1 Runtime™ operating system. "This convenient, cost-effective publishing solution gives users everything they need to turn their internal networks into corporate intranets, all in one box," said Vic Langford, senior vice president and general manager of Novell's Internet/Intranet Services Business Unit. "This represents another stage in Novell's continued commitment to make it easy for users to improve productivity, reduce costs and facilitate communication," he added. Intranets, corporate internal networks enhanced with Internet technologies and secured against external access, are expected to grow much faster than the Internet. Zona Research, a market-research firm in Redwood City, California, predicts that the installed intranet base will surpass the Internet base this year, as will shipments of corporate intranet products. The firm further predicts that spending on servers for corporate intranet applications will grow from $1.63 billion this year to $7.83 billion in 1998. NetWare Web Server 2.5 The central element of Novell InnerWeb Publisher is Novell's newly released NetWare Web Server 2.5, a NetWare Loadable Module™ (NLM™) that lets customers utilize NetWare servers as the core of their fully fledged web sites. Users can install and configure the software quickly and easily on an existing NetWare 4.1™ server, without having to learn new languages or protocols. The fastest web server on the market, NetWare Web Server 2.5 is the only web server that allows users to browse Novell Directory Services™ (NDS™) to locate critical information on network users and resources. The product features Java™ applet support and gives developers a choice of three interfaces. Additionally, NetWare Web Server 2.5 supports fault tolerance and leverages the security features inherent in NetWare and in the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). The NetWare Web Server comes with a license for one server, which supports an unlimited number of users. Other Elements In addition to the NetWare Web Server, Novell InnerWeb Publisher also includes Netscape Navigator™ 2.01, SoftQuad's HoTMetaL Light™, Quarterdeck's IWare Lite™ and NetWare 4.1 Runtime. Netscape Navigator 2.01 -- This version of the world's most popular browser supports the latest Internet technology including Java, JavaScript and Inline Plug-Ins. Additionally, the product features an integrated e-mail and news reader, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) support and a bookmark facility. Netscape Navigator comes with a license for 50 users, but may be upgraded for additional users. HoTMetaL Light -- This HTML authoring tool combines high-powered templates and forms tools with traditional word-processing features to make it easy for users to quickly create effective web pages. HoTMetaL Light comes with a multi-user license that allows up to five people to use the product simultaneously. IWare Lite -- This product enables web access over Internet Packet eXchange (IPX), so that users do not have to install Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stacks on every desktop to connect to their corporate intranets. Only one IP address (on the server) is required. IWare Lite comes with a license for one server, which supports an unlimited number of users. NetWare 4.1 Runtime -- The core NetWare 4.1 operating system gives customers a cost-effective way to implement the NetWare Web Server on a dedicated runtime server in either a NetWare 3.x or NetWare 4.x environment. The NetWare Runtime license is for one server and two users (for normal file and print access over the network). The two-user Runtime license does not restrict the number of users accessing the NetWare Web Server on the Runtime platform. "In short, the Novell InnerWeb Publisher converts users' networks into a powerful platform for publishing HTML pages," said Langford. "It provides users all the benefits of internal web publishing while preserving their investment in hardware, software and training." Pricing and Availability Novell InnerWeb Publisher is available from Authorized Novell Channel Partners for the suggested retail price of US $2,495, less than half the cost of purchasing the components individually. Both the Novell InnerWeb Publisher and the new version of the NetWare Web Server are scheduled to ship in June 1996. Novell, Inc. (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 and anyplace.
