While Openness Debate Rages on, Novell Delivers on Interoperability
PROVO, Utah —Aug 10, 2001— Vendor advertisements in leading business publications have painted a pretty confusing story in the last few days about what technology companies can and should use to tie their networks together to compete successfully. Microsoft touts its cross-platform capabilities in advertisements suggesting its software "plays well with others." However, Sun Microsystems is also running advertising critical of Microsoft, claiming Microsoft software isn't open. Makes it tough to know what to believe. What is clear is that no software company has made a firmer commitment to interoperability than Novell. Companies have multiple platforms in their enterprises, and they need software that allows those platforms to work together as a single platform. Novell software allows this. Novell's eDirectory runs on NetWare, Windows, Solaris, Linux and Tru64, among others, managing users and network resources across these platforms. Active Directory doesn't. Novell's ZENworks products manage Windows environments better than Windows, according to recent press and analyst reports. NDS eDirectory has been certified on Solaris under Sun's SunTone program. With NetWare 6, now out in beta, users can access network resources from any desktop, whether Windows, Apple, or Linux. Novell has been practicing for years what other vendors are just starting to preach, and certainly aren't delivering.
