Novell SMALL BUSINESS SUITE 5.1 ( 00662644396705 )

Novell Small Business Suite 5.1 contains vital tools for organizing your enterprise and securely connecting you to customers, partners, and suppliers. GroupWise 5.5 provides e-mail, calendaring, and scheduling features, while Tobit FaxWare 6, another connectivity solution, enables you to send and receive faxes on your workstation.

Novell Small Business Suite (NSBS) 5.1 includes NetWare 5.1, NDS eDirectory, and GroupWise 5.5. In addition, this suite contains partner products, including IBM WebSphere, Network Associates VirusScan and NetShield, Tobit FaxWare 6, and others. If you have 50 or fewer concurrent users on your single-site network, NSBS 5.1 is an ideal tool to help you organize business processes and support expansion onto the Internet.

NetWare 5.1 offers new Web and application server technologies, such as NetWare Enterprise Web Server and IBM WebSphere Application Server 3.0 Standard Edition. In conjunction with BorderManager Enterprise Edition 3.5 Firewall--an acclaimed proxy/caching product also included in Novell Small Business Suite 5.1--these NetWare 5.1 technologies secure, simplify, and accelerate the once intricate processes of Web application development and deployment. NetWare 5.1 also includes NDS eDirectory, a full-service, platform-independent directory that serves as the foundation for numerous e-business services.

Because small businesses rarely employ a formal IT staff, several convenient administrative features make NSBS 5.1 an attractive solution. Simplified setup and management tasks can be performed with the Novell Easy Administration Tool. In addition, ConsoleOne and ZENworks Starter Pack 2.0 provide advanced administrative options, whether you rely on a trained Novell reseller to manage your system or you choose to do it yourself. A final benefit, NetWare 5.1 Management Portal actually enables you to perform server and file system management tasks from any Web browser on your network.
