Novell making big play

Network software provider Novell plans to beef up a prime component of its
software technology to make it more palatable for high-end needs.

The company is hoping a key underlying service of its NetWare operating system can drive
sales of associated applications and interest in developing for Novell's software. The
technology--known as Novell Directory Services, or NDS--had been the linchpin in a
company strategy to revitalize itself.

As part of the company's revised focus, Novell plans to release new technologies for NDS
that add a series of industrial-strength features targeted for some of its high-end service
provider (ISP) and carrier customers, such as AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, and Singapore
Telecommunications.

Though no packaging details have been released, the series of
enhancements--code-named "SCADS," for Scalable Directory Services--is likely to be
packaged as a separate version of the software, sources said. Novell executives refused to
discuss the specifics of the SCADS project, but said the ISP niche represents a different
opportunity from the company's traditional corporate bent, so its software needs to be
altered accordingly.
