Many of you have had questions recently on NetWare 9000 S/800. Here's a
quick update on some of the latest developments:
Q: What is the positioning of NetWare on the HP 9000 relative Native
NetWare on Intel Servers.
A: NetWare on the HP 9000 Series 800 should be positioned as follows:
- It should not be sold as a performance solution, but as a
connectivity solution to integrate PC's into the Enterprise
If your customer is looking for file and print only server for
a small workgroup, they probably are better off with a Native
Intel server. If your customer has an application which requires
an HP 9000 and they wish to add file and print or integrate into
an existing NetWare environment, or have a large number of users,
then an HP 9000 Series 800 is a good fit.
Q: When will NetWare 3.11 be available on HP-UX 9.0?
A: It will be available on DART 9. Dart 9 is expected to ship
to customers February 26, 1993. NOTE: Dart 9 will require a DLPA
patch which the field SE's can obtain from the Response Center. This
patch will be available Feb. 26.
Q: When will NetWare be available over Token Ring?
A: NetWare over Token Ring will be available in DART 11.
Q: Is any effort being made to measure and improve the performance
and quality of NetWare on the HP 9000?
A: Yes, We are currently doing performance testing on the 3.11
release and should have results available in the second quarter.
The lab is also actively correcting defects and identifying
ways to improve performance. This activity has been funded
for this fiscal year so we should hopefully expect results
by the end of the year. We are still in the investigation
process, so we don't know how much performance is expected
to improve, if at all, however, we will keep you posted as
things materialize.
Q: How do I get replacement code words for customers who have lost
their original codeword?
A: Customers must save their software certificate which was included
in their original shipment. They must fax that certificate to SRDO
to request the code word.
Q: How have NetWare Sales been doing on the HP 9000 S/800?
A: NetWare sales on the HP 9000 Series 800 have grown tremendously
since introduction on the CPL last April. So much so, that HP is
Novell's #1 reseller of NetWare for UNIX; We sell more copies
than anyone! Many customers today are pleased
with NetWare's ability to link PC LAN's into
HP 9000 mission critical applications. We have several success
stories available to help you sell.
