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.
