Novell

Novell was a company specializing in network software that enabled computers to communicate and share resources within organizations, primarily through its flagship product, NetWare. Founded in 1983, it provided systems for managing user access, file sharing, and printing across multiple computers, making it easier for businesses to operate efficiently. Novell’s technology was widely used in the 1980s and 1990s, especially before Microsoft’s dominance in networking. Over time, Novell expanded into security and cloud solutions, but its influence peaked during the era when networked enterprise environments were rapidly growing.
