Novell has stopped support for Netware

On March 7, 2010, Novell discontinued general support for NetWare. It is important that the termination of support is not the end of the product life cycle. However, this means that NetWare is a middle-aged product, ready to go through the final stages of its existence.

NetWare is a great product that has played an invaluable role in the activities of organizations of all kinds for 25 years. We are proud of this product and its critical role in the history of computer technology. But now it's time to take the next step ...

The market is moving away from specialized proprietary systems for quite some time. Buyers demand flexibility and choice, and given the fact that fewer vendors of software and hardware solutions support NetWare, it becomes impossible to provide the opportunities that buyers need.

Responding to the needs of the market, we moved all the services of NetWare on which your business may depend on the Linux platform. This opens up many new opportunities without the need to learn a new platform.

To make this important transition even easier, Novell launches a one-year campaign called “Move IT!” For loyal NetWare users.

I started to work as a system administrator when servers with Netvaryu were typical workhorses in state institutions and business, although Windows 4 Server and FreeBSD 2.xx were already considered as more promising. link - and here it is, the spirit of the time!
