Novell, Inc., a leading network software provider, has announced the integration of its TUXEDO transaction processing monitor with Novell NetWare 4.1 and Microsoft Windows NT, providing customers with additional cost-effective and flexible options for deploying secure, distributed client/server applications in enterprise environments. The new platforms will also support seamless integration of TUXEDO for NetWare with NetWare Directory Services (NDS). Novell has also previewed new enterprise features for its next release of TUXEDO, including a graphical workstation-based system for centralized administration of distributed applications.

Key Takeaways:

  • Novell has integrated its TUXEDO transaction processing monitor with Novell NetWare 4.1 and Microsoft Windows NT, providing customers with additional options for deploying secure, distributed client/server applications.
  • The integration with NetWare will support an array of low-cost, high-performance computing solutions, enabling existing NetWare servers to be configured as powerful access points to line-of-business applications.
  • The integration with NDS makes solutions more cost-effective and easier to manage by providing a common directory for access to TUXEDO applications and NetWare-based resources.
  • TUXEDO's next release, available in the fourth quarter of 1995, will contain additional functionality and expanded features, including a new administration and management subsystem for managing and monitoring complex distributed applications.
  • The new administration system provides an easy-to-use, graphical representation of application components, system events, and configuration data in an enterprise-wide client/server application, enabling administrators to optimize system usage and reduce life cycle cost of ownership.
  • Novell will also provide integration with popular third-party management frameworks through SNMP agents and additional security with Access Control Lists (ACLs) at the user and application service levels.

Statistics:

  • TUXEDO, running natively on NetWare, enables customers to access business-critical application components outside their NetWare environments, anywhere in the enterprise.
  • The integration with NT will provide much-needed transactional capabilities to customers using NT Server in their distributed computing solutions.
  • Novell will release TUXEDO for NetWare in June 1995, with a commercial release shipping in the fourth quarter, and TUXEDO for NT in July, with a commercial release shipping in the fourth quarter.
  • Novell will provide pre-release versions of TUXEDO for NetWare and NT to over 35 server environments, enabling customers to have freedom of choice and protect their investment in dissimilar hardware.
