Brand Description

Founded in 1983, Novell initially gained fame for its NetWare operating system, which became one of the most popular network operating systems in the 1980s and early 1990s. Over the years, the company expanded its product line to include various software solutions for network management, collaboration, and identity management. In the late 1990s, Novell faced challenges from emerging competitors and underwent several transformations, including acquisitions and a shift towards Linux-based solutions. Today, Novell operates under the Micro Focus umbrella, focusing on providing enterprise software solutions.
