Novell's Netware Navigator 3.01 Now Available As Integrated Managewise 2.0
Option

Enterprise-Class Software Distribution Product Offered as Optional Snap-In
Application for Market Leading Management Product

DALLAS, Texas -- Enterprise Management Summit -- October 23, 1995 -- Novell
Inc. today announced that NetWare Navigator, Novell's scalable
enterprise-class software distribution product, is now available as an
integrated option for ManageWise, the market leading systems and network
management product from Novell and Intel.

NetWare Navigator installs and upgrades operating systems, applications and
data files across a NetWare network from a central location and scales to
meet the needs of any sized network, from small, single server
environments to vast multi-site networks. NetWare Navigator now integrates
with ManageWise 2.0, allowing the network manager to launch NetWare
Navigator directly from the ManageWise console. Combining NetWare
Navigator with ManageWise promotes the end to end management model;
network managers can move seamlessly from management and administration to
problem resolution by downloading and installing new applications, editing
configuration files or correcting errors in desktop operating
environments.

Centralized software distribution saves the cost, time and inconvenience of
installing software individually on multiple workstations, virtually
eliminating "sneaker net." NetWare Navigator is architected to consume
minimal LAN and WAN bandwidth, reducing both network intrusiveness and the
cost of leased-line connections. Because it deploys on the existing
NetWare infrastructure, it also eliminates the cost of adding additional
equipment.

NetWare Navigator distributes data quickly and cost-ffectively; lets system
administrators monitor the distribution process from a central
Windows-based console; provides detailed reports; automatically schedules
various distribution functions; and enables automated, unattended data and
software distribution. Clients supported include DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows
95 and OS/2.

Integrating NetWare Navigator and ManageWise has a positive effect on
management outsourcing as well. The Novell reseller channel can now use
ManageWise and NetWare Navigator together to provide enterprise- class
service for their smaller customers. Resellers can deploy ManageWise
services at customer site, while using the ManageWise console to view and
manage the remote networks from their own office. The reseller will be
immediately notified of any problems on the customer networks, and can
diagnose and fix the problems without a site visit.

Should software patches or new versions of software become available,
resellers can use NetWare Navigator to silently distribute and perform
unattended installation to their customers, at a time convenient to their
customers.

NetWare Navigator 3.01 is available now and ranges in list price from $995
for a 25-user license to $30,000 for a 2,000-user license.
