Amdahl Announces Support for Novell NetWare on Fujitsu teamservers.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 1999-- New Offerings Leverage Netware and Novell Directory Services See NDS. as Amdahl Extends Its Leadership in Multi-platform Integration Amdahl(R) today announced the immediate availability of Novell(R) NetWare(R) 5 and Novell Directory Services(R) (NDS See eDirectory. NDS - Netware Directory Services (TM)) on the Fujitsu(R) teamserver(TM) family of Intel(R) architecture servers in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . The addition of Novell's networks operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and directory services technologies extends Amdahl's leadership in the integration of diverse multi-platform enterprise-level e-commerce and supply-chain management applications. Amdahl's current portfolio includes OS/390 servers, Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. NT(R) offerings, SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill (R) Solaris(TM) servers from Sun Microsystems Sun Microsystems, Inc.

(R), and open storage solutions including Fibre Channel-based Storage Area Networks. The Internet is revolutionizing the way businesses present information and how they manage their business practices. But the integration and management of cutting-edge Web technologies can introduce unacceptable risks, including cost overruns, schedule slips, and de-focused technical resources. Amdahl, with an unbiased approach to operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. and with extensive experience with diverse multi-platform networks, can help customers balance the risks of deploying complex multi-platform networks against the promised rewards of aggressive new technologies on an application-by-application basis. "There's a lot of new, exciting, and easily accessible technology out there that can help enable electronic commerce and supply-chain management. Most have very low license costs and can be run on commodity hardware," said William Flanagan, group president, Amdahl Technology Group. "The Internet offers great rewards, but bringing in new or mixed technologies can also be risky. Novell's operating systems, network applications, and distributed network services really expand our technology base and improve our ability to help customers minimize the risk of using these new technologies." "This new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and relationship will offer both Novell and Amdahl customers solutions that address computer and networking issues into the next millennium," said Dave Trotter, vice president of Novell's Global OEM and Sales Programs. "Amdahl's products and services, coupled with Novell's industry-leading network platform of NDS and NetWare, deliver end-users a valuable combination of multi-platform experience and interoperability."
