Open Enterprise Server (OES)


The Novell OES is a secure, highly available suite of services that provides proven networking, communication, collaboration, and application services in an open, easy-to-deploy environment. Some of the common components of OES (that bring it above the base version of SLES) include the Novell NetWare kernel, all services currently in NetWare 6.5, and additional enhancements that are in development. This includes Novell's top-of-the line file, print, and directory services.

The Novell OES incorporates the latest NetWare NOS services and functionality, as well as the complete SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 operating system (Intel-based x86 platform) all under one roof.

With Novell OES, users receive much of the same as they do with SUSE Linux, except as mentioned earlier; the Novell OES is built specifically for server-based services such as the following:

  • Advanced file and storage services

  • High-availability services (such as Clustering)

  • Advanced management services and tools

  • Advanced networking and productivity services

  • Advanced identity-management and security services

Those who are familiar with NetWare (especially version 6.x) will notice that many of the tools used for NetWare, such as iFolder, iPrint, and iManager, as well as Novell Storage Services (NSS), can be used on Linux.
