NetWare - it used to be the ''only'' option for a file and print server if you had x86 hardware. |

Even when NT became available, people would scorn it in favour of NetWare's superiority. |

Nowadays, things are a bit different. It's still superior in most large enterprise respects - it is stable, well documented, easy to manage, and scales like a trooper! Hardware support is dying off a bit though, and migration to those lovely "lock-in" applications like MS-SQL and MS-Exchange, coupled with the rise of Linux as a file and print server, is slowly squeezing NetWare out of the market it helped to create. |

* Native File Access - Out-of-the box access to NetWare storage for Windows (CIFS), Macintosh (AFP) and Linux/UNIX (NFS) clients |
|

* Protected Memory - launch server processes (NLMs) in their own memory "sandboxes". They can even be configured to auto restart if they abend. |
