Novell Open Enterprise Server 11
Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) is an enterprise level file and print server platform with unmatched interoperability and flexible network management on the most advanced Linux platform, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).
- OES 11 is a complete package of network services that runs on 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES 11 SP1).
- 64-bit operating system for maximum performance and scalability.
- Fully certified for use on VMware.
- Improved patching is faster and easier.
- SLES 11 includes Green IT innovations for power savings.
- Faster release cycles, including a feature pack release later this year.
Important Notes about OES 11
- OES 11 requires the 64-bit version of SLES 11 SP1. A 32-bit version/option is not available.
- Unlike previous versions of OES, NetWare is no longer a part of OES 11. If you are currently still running NetWare, a migration will be required to take advantage of OES 11 features. We’ve helped many customers migrate painlessly from NetWare to Linux. We can help you through this process, just give us a call and we can help discuss your strategy.

Upgrades and Migrations
We’ve developed our own exclusive methodologies for performing upgrades and migrations of OES. Our processes are flawless. We’ve found that there are a lot of less experienced engineers that do not have the extensive hands on experience that we have, and sometimes make costly mistakes during an upgrade. For the sake of your critical business data, and productivity of your end users, please consider talking to us prior to your upgrade/migration to learn the benefits of hiring a qualified and highly experienced consulting firm to do the job. We find that it is more cost effective to hire us to do the job right the first time than it is to hire us to do it over.
