Here's hoping that ANCR does as well as ZOOKS and a bit better.

Novell introduced a bevy of products and initiatives with the assistance of blue chip technologypartners at the Networld + Interop show.

Novell signed IBM, Armonk, N.Y., to supply its caching appliance. Based on the Novell Internet Caching System, the appliance aids Web performance by locally storing content. IBM will bundle the caching software with its Netfinity servers.

Novell signed deals with Compaq, Dell, NEC, and others as OEM partners of its caching technology.

Novell also released its clustering for NetWare 5, which supports up to eight nodes. The Provo, Utah-based company began shipping the latest version of its flagship network operating system one year ago. It is offering clustered services on the platform.

"Any app that runs on NetWare 5 can run on cluster," said Patti Docks, vice president of product marketing at Novell. "Customers are looking for fast restarts and are looking at the importance of uptime."

Compaq said it expects to release a two-node cluster, called "CL1850", based on its Proliant servers. The entry-level product will start at about $15,000 and ship in November.

"We've found customers interest in uptime, and there's not anyone out there that says it's not a critical component," said Mike Clark, vice president of the high-availability industry standard server division at Compaq. "Even small businesses running websites are concerned about reliability and manageability."

IBM, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard are in the midst of completing certification requirements and plan to release products based on NetWare 5 clustering in the coming months, Docks said.


Also at the show, Novell unveiled its Firewall for NT. Available later this year, the technology resulted from Novell's acquisition of Ukiah Software in June. The product enables administrators to prioritize data passing through the firewall and manage these events better, company executives said.

For example, network administrators could prioritize access and security for Web customers that are checking prices, as opposed to those purchasing products, Docks said.

"The biggest thing we wanted was to manage the directory for the firewall and to see the [directory] tree," he said. "There are many different kinds of objects in the system and the directory helps to make managing them easier."

Pricing for the Firewall for NT starts at $2,245. It will support Windows 2000 after that product ships from Microsoft later this fall.

NONE of these listed is a known ANCR OEM? A mystery, any help??
