Unlike other server platforms that force vendor lock-in or are not sufficiently supported for the enterprise-level customer, Open Enterprise Server incorporates the best from both open source and enterprise networking leaders. Open Enterprise Server combines NetWare®, the trusted leader for secure networking services, and SUSE™ LINUX Enterprise Server, a leading open platform for delivering business-level applications.
