Keep Options Open

We've been listening to you: Novell Open Enterprise Server provides choice and flexibility by allowing you to deploy the platform mix that best meets your needs. Open Enterprise Server combines NetWare—the long-standing leader of secure networking services—and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, a leading open platform for delivering business-level applications. You can choose to use NetWare, SUSE Linux or a combination of both technologies. This powerful, unique networking foundation allows NetWare and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to coexist and interoperate within your organization. Moreover, common management, directory, and upgrade utilities enable you to manage both platforms with a single set of tools, which simplifies daily administration.
