NOVELL and Hewlett-Packard have teamed up to provide a networking solution aimed at Hong Kong's small-to medium-sized enterprises.
Under an arrangement between the two companies, HP will market, sell, distribute and provide training, service and support for NetWare products for all HP platforms, including Intel and PA/RISC-based systems.
In turn, Novell will include copies of its leading network operating system, NetWare, with sales of HP's latest NetServer systems, designed for high-end networking solutions.
''HP and Novell have been working closely for several years now,'' said HP computer products country manager Andrew Mak.
''Novell's participation in the launch of our new NetServer systems shows how we are leveraging each other's strengths to provide powerful solutions to local users.'' Several special packages are available under the deal.
Users can select a combination of HP's NetServer 4/33 LM with eight 8MB of RAM and 1.05 gigabytes of hard disk and Novell NetWare 3.12 (10-user) for $44,000 - more than $14,500 off the price of the computer and operating system when sold separately.
