Novell has updated its Nterprise Branch Office software
for centralising network services, boosting the product's
functionality and adding support for integrating several additional
Novell applications.
Nterprise Branch Office 2.0 connects applications and hardware
resources, such as printers, and allows them to be managed
centrally. New features include enhanced disaster recovery and
password management, as well as support for Novell's GroupWise Post
Office Agent for delivering local copies of e-mail stored on a
server and for Novell's Zen for Desktops software for automated
remote distribution of applications and updates.
Nterprise Branch Office 2.0 runs on Linux, Windows or NetWare
networks, and will be available from today through Novell
resellers. The software is priced at $2,500 per server, with each
server licence supporting up to 250 branch office users.
NetWare 6.5 customers and existing Nterprise Branch Office 1.0
customers can upgrade by purchasing an upgrade licence for $625 per
server until the end of July.
