File Services Superior Access for End Users File Systems File Access Protocol ifolder End-user Services File Novell Storage Service (NSS) Performance increase of 5-15% Auditing Cross protocol file locking Ext3, reiser, XFS Can use rich file system rights by adding NCP support to these file systems NCP: Traditional file access CIFS: Samba, Novell CIFS AFP: Native Apple 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 workstation authentication NFS Distributed File System w/ junction support Client Support Apple 10.5 and 10.6 Windows XP, Vista and 7 SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Microsoft AD Support edir or AD Authentication Domain Tiered Admin Support Customized administration for large organizations SaaS product delivery 6
File Services Novell CIFS Delivers on Customer Requirements End-user Services Novell CIFS - Advantages & Benefits No LUM User enablement required Scalability over Samba --- supported up to 1500 users Efficiency & Performance - small memory footprint Leverage with DSFW Cross Protocol File locking: AFP, CIFS, NCP NTLM v1 DFS Support NCS support Novell CIFS Conceptual Overview 7
File Services - AFP Extending End-User Choice End-user Services Novell AFP - Advantages & Benefits Support for Mac OS* 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6. Scalability & Performance 200 concurrent busy users Outperforms CIFS access on MAC Bonjour support for the AFP server discovery using the Bonjour protocol. Cross-Protocol File Locking support between AFP, CIFS, and NCP. AFP parameter configuration and administration through imanager. No LUM User enabling required Auditing and Monitoring (afpstat) support for File Access activities. Support for Unicode* filenames. Support for Universal Passwords longer than 8 characters.

Novell iprint Reducing Helpdesk Calls with End-User Self-Service End-user Services Novell iprint Client Support Windows 7, XP, Vista, Apple, Linux By modifying iprint.ini we can allow non admin users to install printers Bi-Directional Support Allows for a printer to auto configure the driver on a workstation regarding the feature set of the printer Universal Printer Driver Support No Longer need a unique driver for each Printer Model within the same family of Printers (e.g., Xerox GPD, HP UPD, Ricoh UPD) Print Accounting ISV Partners: Pcounter, EquiTrac, PaperCut Enables an organization to recover, track or charge back for printing costs Highly Available via Clustering (NCS) 9
Domain Services for Windows Applications who requires Active Directory can use Linux servers No Active Directory server required for login and authentication Microsoft Administrators can use MMC to administer users Access to Linux Servers without a Novell Client Easy installation and integration into existing Microsoft environments Supports Active Directory Trusts 10
Domain Services for Windows Support for Major Applications Infrastructure Services Novell Supported Applications ZENWorks Configuration Management 10 Citrix Terminal Server VMWare VDI MS Sharepoint NetApp Filers Limited Support MS Exchange ZENWorks Endpoint Security 4.1 Novell Secure Login 7 11
Domain Services for Windows Seamless Windows Interoperability So good, even Microsoft apps think they're using AD Native Microsoft Active Directory and Windows Protocols running on OES2 servers. Windows Workstations, Servers are joined into a DSFW domain No Novell Client required Support for cross-domain and cross-forest trust relationships Use existing management tools MMC, imanager, ConsoleOne Unified repository of user account information not a Meta Directory Single Password to Login Support for common authentication protocols and open standards Kerberos*, NTLM, and SSL/TLS. 12
Domain Services for Windows Seamless Windows Interoperability Remove barriers to adoption Partition Boundary limitation removed. A Domain can span across multiple partitions DNS configuration on additional DSfW DC Fault tolerance for DNS. Slave DNS on DSfW DC Deployment enhancement Master replica requirement removed Domain Name can be different from Container Name Disconnected children OU's > Domain hierarchy can differ from edir Windows 2008 Member server support 13
Domain Services For Windows Conceptual Diagram Infrastructure Services 14
DNS/DHCP Infrastructure Services DHCP edirectory integration support DNS edir or OpenLDAP. Enables you to configure, administer, and manage IP addresses host names through LDAP imanager plug-in provides support for the new directory objects. Clustered Service via NCS A new version of the Java Management Console to manage DHCP objects rndc Support: DNS can now be managed through an open source tool called rndc. Clustered Service via NCS DsfW: Novell DNS can now be installed with the DSfW (Domain Services for Windows) pattern. 15
Novell Cluster Services High Availability for Your Data and Resources Infrastructure Services OES2 SP2 NCS v 1.8.7 Upto 32 Node Clusters File systems > NSS Volumes, NCP Volumes (NSS, posix) > Linux Posix ext3, reiser, xfs partitions OES Services > DNS/DHCP, ifolder, iprint, NetStorage, QuickFinder, Novell CIFS, AFP, Certificate Server, IDM, Dynamic Storage Technology POSIX/Linux Services > DNS/DHCP,mySQL, Samba Cluster restart not required in rolling cluster upgrade 16
File Services - Audit Meeting Business Requirements for Compliance Infrastructure Services NSS Auditing events (includes AFP events): File or Directory create, rename, delete events. File opened, closed Link to file or directory created File or directory metadata modified (ie: file creation time, owner, flags, etc. -not file data) Trustee added or removed to file or directory. Inherited Rights of a directory modified. NCP engine events: File opened, closed by an NCP client. CIFS engine events: File opened, closed by a CIFS client. 17
Auditing Applications Open Enterprise Server on Linux Infrastructure Services Novell Sentinel Log Manager Released, and available today. BlueLance, LT Auditor+ 9 for SUSE Linux Release scheduled for March 22, 2010 NetVision, NVMonitor Version 7.0 Requires an NCP-engine fix to be available 1H '10 Only reports on NSS_ADD_TRUSTEE, NSS_REMOVE_TRUSTEE and NSS_SET_INHERITED_RIGHTS events. (Does not report on file/directory related events). Novell, OES via vlog 18
Management Improvements Infrastructure Services Proxy Services User consolidation NSS CIFS, DHCP, DNS, ifolder, LUM, NCS, NetStorage > Leverage a common proxy - OESCommonProxy_<ServerName> > Tool & Automated password changes per password policy Auditing - Track IP address perpetrator. Quota Management console tool (Salvage, Purge tools made available) LUM Stability and Performance improvements Faster edir lookups > Workstation-dn cached in namcd & stored in nam.conf Selection of Unix Config Object during LUM enablement > Avoids possible UIG/GID assignment conflicts Diagnositic Utility allows admin to see if any conflicts exist Service Location Protocol - OpenSLP Persistence of Service Location data - Backup File, DA Sync 19

The Future of File-sharing beyond OES11
28
How important are files? l l l l Do you think that files are important to our customers? What % of time are their users working with files? Do you think collaboration tools will eliminate the need for files? What would it cost to migrate all your mapped drives? What might you lose? Only Novell Focuses on Files 29
When New Windows Feels Old Windows 7 adds a lot beyond Windows XP, but the filesharing capabilities are much the same 30
File-sharing Options On-line social File-sharing and backup Simple file sharing à la 1990. Lots of plumbing, many dead files Disruptive ( move all your files here ) and doesn't improve the basic file experience Cloud only, consumer focused and not feasible in most enterprises Enterprise file & print server 31 Team and social collaboration tools
The Gap On-line social file-sharing and backup Who provides basic file-sharing innovations for enterprises? Team and social collaboration tools Enterprise file & print server 32
End-user File-sharing Challenges Viel mehr Möglichkeiten! The End-user File-sharing Experience > Where are my files? (locally, on the server, in e-mails) > Are my local files backed-up? > Is there a way to easily share files with external people? > How do I share a file on Twitter/Facebook? > Why can't I access my files on my iphone/pad/droid? > How do I know when someone created a new file? > Is there a file that looks similar to what I am working on? > How do I group these files based on content? > Is there a better way to quickly share a file than e-mail? 33
