NET RESULTS

The Ten Greatest
Networking Myths

by Dave Molta

Novell is dead. Here lies Big Red, a victim of Internet-mania and the superiority of Windows NT. That's not inconceivable, is it? Novell missed the boat early on by building its systems strategy around IPX while the rest of the world had voted for IP. And Novell got seriously sidetracked by taking on Microsoft in the applications arena. NT is a more robust and easier-to-manage NOS and application server platform, but talk to enough network managers and you'll hear a familiar refrain. For file and print services, NetWare is a workhorse (nothing else comes close). And while Novell Services Directory is currently tightly tied to NetWare, it is a viable directory service technology in a field of also-rans. If Novell can deliver a functional implementation of NDS for NT and Unix, it just might win over the application developers and system architects. In any case, it's much too early to write Novell's epitaph.

Unfortunately, the stock market already has.
