• Single server• Require all-in-one servers• Most likely to move to hosted environment

today

• Typical NetWare customer today• Many servers, broadly distributed• Some servers dedicated to single purpose

(GroupWise®)• Many servers performing multiple functions

Shift in Focus

Mission CriticalMission Critical• Emerging as enterprise deployments pull

storage off distributed servers to consolidated storage centers

• Additive to enterprise servers• Reliability and security more critical than ever• Hosted environment, ASP, or storage data

centers

iFolder Features

• iFolder Client iFolder updates your data across multiple

workstations Allows you to access your synchronized files

from your local iFolder through traditional methods— c:\My Documents\iFolder

Updates only the changes in a file, minimizing bandwidth usage

iFolder allows you to view and restore files that may have been deleted through a synchronization

iFolder Features

• iFolder Client Allows you to work on your files connected to or

disconnected from the network Allows you to encrypt your files that are stored

on the server The encryption occurs on the client, so only you

can access the files—this allows you to store your confidential files on a mistrusted server, such as an ISP or ASP

iFolder client runs on Win9x/ME/NT/2000

iFolder Features

• Web Browser Client You can access your files from a web browser You can perform normal file operations such as

copy, delete, rename, etc. You no longer need to bring your laptop with

you everywhere—just download the file from another computer at your destination

NSS Key Features

• NSS 3.0 will support SYS volumes in addition to the data volumes that all versions

of NSS support File compression: NetWare 6 will be able to compress NSS files

that are used infrequently or not at all User and directory quotas

You will be able to limit the space one user consumes on an NSS directory and the space a directory consumeson an NSS volume

The Transaction-Tracking System (TTS) As a result, TTS-enabled applications will be able to protect their

transaction data

• NSS 3.0 will be MP-enabled • NSS 3.0 will be support Partition-level mirroring• Virtual partitions, Storage pools and Logical volumes
