Novell Replication Services for IntranetWare Available on World Wide Web Novell Replication Services Improves Network Performance, Speeds Users' Access to Network and Internet Information NEW YORK -- May 19, 1997 -- Novell, Inc. today announced availability of Novell Replication Services™ (NRS), a fully scalable software solution for replicating, distributing and synchronizing information across wide area networks and corporate intranets. Available for download from the Novell World Wide Web site later this month, NRS improves user access to information and optimizes network performance by moving information closer to end users through automated replication and synchronization of data across geographically dispersed servers. "With over 500 sites, keeping all of our network files up-to-date for our users is a time-consuming job," said Scott Sattler, senior network analyst at Cargill, Inc., a privately held merchandiser, processor and distributor of agricultural and other commodities. "NRS should save at least 40 man-hours per week by allowing me to update network files automatically, from a central location. I can literally set it up and forget it; NRS does all the work." NRS was announced in conjunction with a Novell customer event held today at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. Novell today also unveiled Novell Border Manager, its new solution for enhancing the security and performance of corporate intranets (see related press release, "Novell Announces BorderManager -- New Product to Extend Corporate Networks to the Internet," issued today.) Novell Replication Services provides users with immediate access to the most current network data, software applications and Web content, helping businesses to implement more cost-effective corporate intranets. In addition, Novell Replication Services offers:
Novell Replication Services allows network administrators to selectively replicate entire volumes or parts of volumes from one server to any number of other servers in the same NDS tree. NRS enables branch offices from locations all over the world to share files and information securely and consistently. Types of data that can be replicated include documents, applications, graphic images, audio and video clips and Web server content. NRS runs on each IntranetWare server from which or to which files and directories are replicated. Administration is provided by a "snap-in" to Novell's standard administration utility, NWAdmin™, so that replication and synchronization can be managed from any network client. Pricing and Availability Novell Replication Services beta software is available now. A final, fully supported version will be downloadable for evaluation later this month, at no charge, and will expire 12/31/97. Both versions are available from the Novell World Wide Web site at http://www.novell.com/nrs/. NRS is scheduled to ship through Novell distribution channels this summer; pricing will be announced at that time.
