Hi Guys,

Does the small business server suite still exist?

I have not sold Novell products in a VERY long time and I have an ideal  
small customer that could use a major update 🙂

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I believe this is the replacements for the old SBS stuff?

Kim and Kevin are close by suggesting NOWS. However, if you’re talking  
a small business customer (\< 200 users) then you actually want to look  
at the Small Business version of NOWS.

[https://www.novell.com/products/openworkgroupsuite/smallbiz/](https://www.novell.com/products/openworkgroupsuite/smallbiz/)

It’s exactly the same product as “full” NOWS. The only difference is  
the licensing terms which limit NOWS-SBE to no more than 200 users and  
5 servers. In exchange, there’s a heck of a discount for the Small Biz  
version.

I didn’t suggest NOWS…I pointed him to the page where he gets  
ordering details for NOWSSB. 🙂
