Novell, Inc., a leader in eBusiness solutions and Net services software, today announced the rollout of additional initiatives to meet the growing demand for NetWare® 6 expertise, training more partners and customers sooner than with any previously released Novell® software.

Customers, education partners and solution providers who have attended NetWare 6 training are giving Novell high marks for its pre-launch training initiatives. "Novell's NetWare 6 boot camp training and other courses they offer are top notch and show me Novell is committed to network engineers like me," said Crystal Sroga, Master CNE with Benchmark Computer Training Centers in Edina, Minn. "I am thrilled to gain hands-on expertise from Novell because their technology is superior."
Rick Rigby, director, Western Division for Novell solution provider partner Cal Data Systems in Phoenix, adds, "Novell's NetWare 6 boot camp was one of the best training courses I've participated in. The true value I gained was the ability to meet with knowledgeable instructors and implement the technology in a real-time lab set up. The hands-on experience has equipped me to know the product in such a way that I can more effectively sell it to customers."
"Early demand indicators for NetWare 6 training are very strong," stated Debbie Maucieri, vice president of Novell Education. "The reliable, secure and additive benefits of Net-ready NetWare 6 are driving interest among customers making eBusiness transformation decisions. With the rollout of these training initiatives, we ensure that a worldwide expertise on this product is readily available."
