Hello! Dr. Schmidt speech was much more powerful in person. I can say the ovation (standing) lasted a few minutes when he came on stage. I just want to add a few things to this article. Dr. Schmidt took some time to point out several things to the audience. First of all the new marketing hype is going to center around " The Human Face of Netwoking" thus focusing on the end-user. From the interesting statistics department: - ManageWise 2.6 pays itself off within 20 days of deployment (not a bad ROI) - GroupWise has 20 million users, more than Lotus Notes or MS Exchange. - BorderManager has 5 million users and is the leading selling cache software period. - ZENworks can cut Help Desk cost by a factor of 7. - There are 4 times as many 4.2 servers than NT servers in use today. - There's an open beta of an upcoming clustering product that scales to 12 nodes available NOW. - NetWare 5.0 had an adoption rate 2.5 times faster than NetWare 3.x and 4.x As for the servers being reliable...there's a NetWare 2 server that's been running fo 9 years, a NetWare 3 server running for 2147 days and a NetWare 4 server running 894 days. Also Novell has a 1 billion object NDS v8 running and replicating right now. I'll get back with more from the speech later...I have to run. Peter Strifas PS- there was another item which was announced but I haven't seen any press on. Novell signed a deal with SPRINT to develop something named GNOC (Global Network Operations Center) all based on Novell products. I didn't get any details but I'm looking into it. This is evidence that Novell is going to lead the way on cross-platform, seamless network management. It's a new world.
