- NOVELL ANNOUNCES "NOVELL DOES UNIX" SALES PROMOTION AND SEMINAR SERIES
-
- SAN JOSE, California - February 24, 1992 - Novell, Inc., developer of
- NetWare systems software products, announced today a six-month "Novell
- does UNIX" sales promotion and seminar series designed to grow the UNIX
- networking market through the strength of its North American resellers.
-
- As network computing expands into the enterprise, there is a great need
- for users in UNIX environments to have access to integrated network
- services. The promotion provides tools and opportunities for resellers in
- the United States and Canada to reach these users who need UNIX networking
- solutions. Many distributors and national reseller organizations are
- sponsoring "Novell Does UNIX" seminars for resellers and end users who
- need this information.
-
- "We believe in the direction Novell is taking in the UNIX market," said
- Tim Godwin, president of Tech Data Corporation. "Their UNIX products are
- so strong and this promotion is such a great opportunity that we're
- creating a whole new division to support it."
-
- The program focuses on two of Novell's networking solutions for
- UNIX-oriented customers, NetWare NFS and LAN WorkPlace for DOS. NetWare
- NFS is a high-performance NFS server that enables customers to share
- information by integrating their UNIX and NetWare resources. LAN
- WorkPlace for DOS is market-leading TCP/IP connectivity software that
- provides personal computer users with direct, concurrent access to NetWare
- and UNIX resources.
-
- "The 'Novell Does UNIX' promotion provides tools to help resellers expand
- their customer base to include UNIX users and increase their success in
- the fastest-growing segment of the network computing market," said Kim
- Peyser, Novell's vice president of North American sales. "It's also a
- great opportunity for them to improve their ability to provide solutions
- to existing Novell customers who need to integrate their NetWare and UNIX
- resources.
-
- "The educational aspect of the promotion will open new opportunities for
- many of our resellers and expand the opportunities for those already
- serving the UNIX market," said Peyser. "We've put together a
- comprehensive seminar series to assist them in understanding, positioning
- and selling NetWare NFS and LAN WorkPlace for DOS."
-
- The seminar series for resellers and end users will be conducted by
- Novell's regional sales offices and participating distributors and
- national reseller organizations beginning in March. Additionally, gold
- and platinum resellers will receive 40 percent discount coupons for
- NetWare NFS and TCP/IP product education courses at participating Novell
- Authorized Education Centers.
-
- The promotion offers valuable prizes to distributors and resellers for
- selling NetWare NFS and LAN WorkPlace for DOS between March 2 and August
- 31, 1992. It also offers prizes to end users who attend product
- presentations. Interested resellers can contact their Novell distributor
- or Novell regional sales office for details.
