Onward Novell has already partnered with Bangalore Labs and iLantas. These

initiatives are part of the global partnership program under the e-business

System Integrators (ESI) and Consulting System Integrators (CSI). The company

has also launched its `One Net' initiative which allows organizations to

implement networking solutions across its Internet, Intranet, Extranet and

mobile devices applications.

Launched on September 18, Netware 6 allows Windows, Macintosh, Unix, Linux

and Web based client workstations to connect to and store files and data on

centrally managed servers, and storage area networks without Novell client

software on the workstation. It can be plugged into existing networks

integrating and empowering new services with minimal investments. As part of its

launch promotion, Onward Novell is offering a one-year free upgrade of Netware 6

to its customers purchasing the currently available Netware 5.1.

Satyen H Parikh, Indian Subcontinent-Area Director, Onward Novell Software,

said, "We are bullish about Netware 6 in India. The product opens up newer

markets, which was applications specific earlier, and also offers a gamut of

services in a single package to the SMEs. The product also offers a range of

services which will find exception uses across all applications and

operations."

Netware 6 give users the freedom to be mobile without giving up the

advantages of office based network access. Netware WebAccess provides users

access via a Web browser to files, printers, e-mail, calendar, corporate address

book, etc., through a customizable portal, regardless of desktop operating

system or device. Novell iFolder allows users to access their files across

multiple networks and Internet enabled machines. iPrint, another feature, lets

customers use a simple Web browser to find and install a printer and print via

the Internet.

"Such applications are sure to attract customers in this connected

environment. We are launching big promotional and marketing campaign that should

see the product cruise in to the market. Partners and our channel network have

been roped in to give the `Go to Markets' initiative that needed push,"

added Parikh.
