From the Novell thread:
Message 12496556
"Q: What functionality do NDS eDirectory and NDS Corporate Edition provide that NDS does not?
"A: For the first time, NDS is not only cross-platform (because it has been cross-platform) but OS independent, meaning there is no NetWare dependence in the code. For example, you can run a complete Solaris or a complete NT shop on NDS eDirectory.
"In addition, NDS 8 was available only on NetWare until now, and we have unified a set of source code for all platforms. In the past, our cross-platform products had different source code, and we had to do some integration work to make them work together. Now, we have the same set of code with a platform-specific layer."
===================
Here's what I'm wondering: If the Novell eDirectory is OS independent, does that mean that if IDX is the standardized biometric option for Novell, any system using the Novell eDirectory can take a DFR-300 system without IDX having to customize it to the (non-Windows) OS? Did Novell already do the heavy lifting?
==================
Brad, I don't know if we get to $10 today, but it seems we get there next week for sure. Slow and steady. Maybe $11. |
