Heard about a new product launch? Curious to find out if the features and benefits of this new product will meet your critical business needs? Network World Fusion's Product Central section includes all the info you need to make informed decision about new products and also includes a product finder function. Check it out at http://nww1.com/go/ad216.html _______________________________________________________________ Today's focus: Novell launches Small Business Suite worldwide By Dave Kearns Novell's Small Business Suite 6, based on NetWare 6, is now available worldwide in multiple localized language versions. For companies with 50 users or fewer, SBS 6 may be the right network operating system to run the enterprise. Certainly there's enough included in the box to get you started. The suite includes: * 50 user licenses. * Two server licenses. * GroupWise 6. * ZENWorks for Desktops 3.2. * BorderManager Enterprise Edition 3.6. * Tobit FaxWare. * Network Associates VirusScan and NetShield. * FatPipe Internet Software. It is a different licensing scheme to the so-called "big" NetWare (which has gone to a named-user style of licensing) but it's assumed that 50 users and two servers are plenty for any small business. Besides what's in the box, though, Novell is offering special incentives coordinated with the announcement of worldwide availability. Many resellers, for example, are offering free basic installation of SBS 6. Get details from your local retailer, which you can find at http://www.novell.com/partnerlocator/ or you can buy it online (but without the free installation). SBS 6 includes the same NetWare 6 server software that the "big" NetWare includes, with the single exception of cluster services. While big NetWare has a two-server cluster license in the box, there is no clustering offered for SBS 6. Most small businesses wouldn't need the nonstop computing that clustering provides, or need to set up numerous servers to provide the service. If your enterprise does require nonstop service - perhaps because you offer a high volume Web service, for example - then SBS 6 is not for you. For everyone else with fewer than 50 users, SBS 6 offers most of the server-based applications they will need (one exception: database services), while Novell's management services make it easy to outsource support and maintenance. That makes SBS 6 the ideal choice for the smaller enterprise. Get all the details at http://www.novell.com/products/smallbiz/ for yourself or your customers. _______________________________________________________________ To contact Dave Kearns: Dave Kearns is a writer and consultant in Silicon Valley.
