Wow, great Article on NOVL/MSFT partnership.. Excerpt : Novell has been plagued with a disease called market misperception. As most people have heard, Microsoft is due to release its much-talked about Windows 2000 operating system at the end of 1999/beginning of 2000. Apparently, the anticipation has diverted attention away from the energy and innovation exuding from within the walls of Novell. Recently, we had the privilege of experiencing this energy and innovation first hand in a conversation with some of Novell's management team that is closely tied to the roll out and development of Novell Directory Services [NDS]. There is a vast misperception that Microsoft's Active Directory and NDS are direct competitors and have identical functionality. This is just plain wrong. NDS is a directory that was designed with the purpose of providing cross-platform administration of everything within a network from printers to routers to Internet access to most importantly, the users. In relation to Microsoft, NDS's scalability and interoperability treats Active Directory as another object within the network by actually enhancing the functionality and value of Active Directory to the user. Therefore, NDS works as a complement to Microsoft rather than a competitor. Full Article : mastrapasqua.com Here we go...long and strong.... -Chris-
