The NetWare® Role
“NetWare is a keystone to the one Net
vision. NetWare is the Net services
platform that enables resources to work
together as one Net across all types of
networks—corporate and public.”
Eric Schmidt

•
•
•
•
• Single server
• Require all-in-one servers
• Most likely to move to hosted environment today
Typical NetWare customer today
Many servers, broadly distributed
Some servers dedicated to single purpose (GroupWise®)
Many servers performing multiple functions
Mission Critical
• Emerging as enterprise deployments pull storage off
distributed servers to consolidated storage centers
• Additive to enterprise servers
• Reliability and security more critical than ever
• Hosted environment, ASP, or storage data centers
NetWare World
Traditional World
• Client 32™ needed
• Tied to LAN
• Limited by firewall
• VPN Required
Novell One Net Services
• Thin/web clients
• Tied to Internet
• Access through firewalls
• Browser-based

iFolder Features
• iFolder Client
 iFolder
updates your data across multiple
workstations
 Allows you to access your synchronized files from
your local iFolder through traditional methods—
c:\My Documents\iFolder
 Updates only the changes in a file, minimizing
bandwidth usage
 iFolder allows you to view and restore files that may
have been deleted through a synchronization
iFolder Features
• iFolder Client
 Allows
you to work on your files connected to or
disconnected from the network
 Allows you to encrypt your files that are stored on
the server
 The encryption occurs on the client, so only you can
access the files—this allows you to store your
confidential files on a mistrusted server, such as an
ISP or ASP
 iFolder client runs on Win9x/ME/NT/2000
iFolder Features
• Web Browser Client



You can access your files from a web browser
You can perform normal file operations such as copy,
delete, rename, etc.
You no longer need to bring your laptop with you
everywhere—just download the file from another
computer at your destination




SYS volumes in addition to the data volumes that all versions
of NSS support
File compression: NetWare 6 will be able to compress NSS files
that are used infrequently or not at all
User and directory quotas
 You will be able to limit the space one user consumes on an NSS directory and
the space a directory consumes
on an NSS volume

The Transaction-Tracking System (TTS)
 As a result, TTS-enabled applications will be able to protect their
transaction data
• NSS 3.0 will be MP-enabled
• NSS 3.0 will be support Partition-level mirroring
• Virtual partitions, Storage pools and Logical volumes
