Cost-Effective Deployment
ManageWise is a set of NLMs delivered on a single CDROM.
Install ManageWise to all your servers from your desk and no need to
install any software on desktops. Because it runs on existing NetWare 3,
NetWare 4, NW SFT III and SMP servers, no additional systems are needed to
gain the benefits of ManageWise. Also, deployment is quick and easy.
Preserves your investments ManageWise is a flexible solution because it's
based on industry standards. This means it easily works with your existing
systems and preserves those investments. NetWare and SNMP provide the
open, standards-based management foundation of ManageWise. NetWare servers
are the distributed platforms from which ManageWise operates. The console
serves as a centralized source for viewing your systems and network.
Affordable
ManageWise is priced per server in the same stratifications as NetWare, so
managers of small networks can benefit without having to pay a large net
workprice. Buy the ManageWise user license that corresponds to the NetWare
server you want to install on. For example, a NetWare 25 user needs
ManageWise 25 user.
ManageWise has proven technologies to keep networks running at optimum
performance, giving you the full value of your network investments.
ManageWise is the ideal solution for any size network because of its
scalable, full-featured capabilities. Scales to any size network
ManageWise adapts to computing environments of any size. It distributes
management processing on NetWare servers, allowing management capabilities
to grow economically as the network increases in computing power. This
distributed design eliminates single point of failures and spreads the
processing power requirements across your network.
Small- to medium-sized networks
If you work for a small- to medium-sized organization, you don't need to
bean expert to effectively manage your network with ManageWise. Familiar
NetWare security features, NetWare administrative tools, such as NWAdmin,
and intuitive navigation through maps make ManageWise easy to use.
ManageWise guides you to quick resolution on common user problems and lets
you plan for growth by using its historical data trending capability.
ManageWise's pricing scales to the size of your environment without
compromising functionality, giving you the benefits of a high-end product
at an affordable price. As your network grows, you can affordably add
management and your existing investment in ManageWise keeps paying off
because it is fully functional for all sizes of environments and scales to
your growing needs. ManageWise also works over on-demand dial-up links,
letting you out source management tasks to service bureaus easily and cost
effectively. These and other capabilities make ManageWise the best
solution for small- and medium-sized networks. Large enterprise networks
If you work for a large organization, you can customize ManageWise to your
needs. Your site managers, for instance, can get details about the local
network and proven technology to assist users, while your enterprise
managers get a broad overview of network activity and problems across the
organization. Because ManageWise is built on standards, such as SNMP,
enterprise and site managers can cooperatively share management of the
network using their console of choice-whether a third-party UNIX-based
console or the included ManageWise console. No matter which console they
use, they all get access to the same information and network maps. Many
enterprise networks have multivendor components that need to be managed.
ManageWise is based on industry standards, such as SNMP, RMON, IPX and
TCP/IP, so it provides interoperability with any network system. Since it
is installed on NetWare servers, it scales to network's processing
power,making it easy to expand management capability as the network grows.
ManageWise also works well over wide area network (WAN) connections,
letting network managers cost-effectively administer geographically
dispersed servers.

The Smart Way to Manage Your Network
By the year 2000, a billion people will be connected to computer networks.
Novell's advancements toward pervasive computing will connect people with
other people and the information they need, enabling them to act on it
anytime, anyplace. As networks expand to accommodate more users and access
to a multitude of networked devices, such as televisions, telephones and
even appliances, ManageWise will be available to provide comprehensive
management services for these dynamically changing Novell environments.
Today's organizations extend their computing borders to include people and
resources remotely, giving rise to "virtual corporations". Virtual
resources include suppliers, colleagues in other organizations or
outsourced professionals. Management across these boundaries will become
more important as this environment evolves-creating issues, such as
collaborative network management of multiple corporations; dynamic and
secure access; and management solutions that scale to millions of nodes.
Deploying ManageWise today let's you reap the benefits of electronic
services without risking inter-business chaos. The integration of
ManageWise with NetWare Directory Services; (NDS) enables seamless
connectivity and communication between Novell networks and other extended
networks. ManageWise automates tasks and resolves problems quickly, saving
you time and money.
