“Novell executives, including Chairman and Chief Executive Eric
Schmidt, sought to paint Novell Directory Services (NDS) eDirectory
as the glue that will unite all networks and applications across
the Internet, a concept they described as One Net.”
“Novell designed the DENIM model, which will be delivered with
the help of strategic partners, to serve three areas of Internet
service: Web management, including security and policy management;
Web content, including publishing, storage and delivery; and Web
portal, including integration, identity and knowledge services that
provide a foundation for e-business applications.”
“While Schmidt said Novell would continue to sell its flagship
NetWare “for 100 years,” the company outlined DENIM using
eDirectory as the underlying foundation for its new Net services.
The plan is for eDirectory to enable One Net while operating on
top of NetWare or other operating systems such as Windows, Sun
Solaris or Linux.”
