SUNW to help NOVL to sell NDS into ISP market " DJNews --- Novell Inc. said it will offer its key product, known as Network Directory Services, or NDS, on a variety of new operating systems, as part of a renewed push into Internet-based applications. The Novell product is used to keep track of individual computer users on a network, and had been available only on Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system, as well as on Novell's own Netware product. But Novell, based in Provo, Utah, said that the software will also be made available on the Solaris operating system from Sun Microsystems Inc., and that Sun will help Novell sell the product to the many Internet service providers that use its machines. Starting next year, said Novell, NDS will also be available on the free Linux operating system. Novell is anxious to push its directory product because Microsoft is expected to include a rival technology in the Windows 2000 software it has promised to begin selling next year. "
