Cisco, Novell to collaborate on Novell Directory Services

PC Week

By Scott Berinato, ZDNet

LAS VEGAS -- It's not the deal, but it is a deal.

After months of negotiation, Cisco Systems Inc. and Novell Inc. are expected to announce at Comdex here
Wednesday that they will work together to integrate Novell Directory Services (NDS) with Cisco networking
hardware, according to sources close to the companies.

To underscore the commitment, the companies will demonstrate at Novell's Comdex booth a new technology
that enables NDS to store networking hardware configurations in the directory and automatically distribute those
configurations to any network device by way of a Java applet.

Cisco (Nasdaq:CSCO) will not license NDS as part of the deal, as many users were hoping. But the companies
have agreed that any extensions made for Cisco products in the standard Directory Enabled Networking (DEN)
schema will be made available to Novell (Nasdaq:NOVL) to apply to NDS, sources close to Cisco said. This
will enable NDS to fully manage DEN-enabled Cisco hardware.

Sources said the Novell partnership does not affect Cisco's development of Cisco Networking Services for
Active Directory (CNS/AD), forthcoming software services that are based on Microsoft's directory service,
which is due as part of Windows 2000 next year.

Novell and Cisco have not set a target date for releasing their yet to-be-named technology.
