NetWare Mobile Goes Global With Availability of French, German and Japanese Versions

Client Software Provides Mobile Users With Complete Access to Networked Information When They're Out of The Office

What:
Novell, Inc. today announced the availability of French, German and Japanese versions of NetWare® Mobile™, integrated client software for mobile networking and remote access. NetWare Mobile reduces remote connection charges by allowing NetWare users to work offline while maintaining their familiar view of network files and resources, from anywhere in the world. With NetWare Mobile, users can transfer selected network data to their mobile computer, work as though they're connected to the network accessing and printing files, then automatically synchronize data when they reconnect to the network. NetWare Mobile enables users to work with their familiar network resources anywhere in the world, giving them the power to do more with less, from more places.

NetWare Mobile also provides fully-configurable remote dialing utilities, making it easy for users to create dial-up connections without having to know local dialing conventions or other location-specific information. In addition, NetWare Mobile includes administration tools that allow administrators to support mobile users and data through Novell Directory Services™ (NDS™), while maintaining complete network security. NDS, Novell's industry-leading directory service, enables administrators to centrally manage network-based information, resources and users, regardless of their location.

NetWare Mobile supports NetWare 4.1 and 3.x networks as well as the Windows 3.1 client operating system. When used with NetWare Connect™, Novell's scaleable communications server for secure remote access, NetWare Mobile provides users with a complete remote access and mobile networking solution.

When:
French, German and Japanese versions of NetWare Mobile will be available in August.
