Marvin Huffaker has supported, installed, migrated, and upgraded Novell NetWare and OES systems around the world for over 25 years.

Marvin has been Novell certified with NetWare since 1999 for NetWare 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x. He holds a CNE for each of these versions as well as the Master CNE certification. For the duration of his career, Marvin has worked exclusively with Novell solutions in both large enterprise and small business environments. He has extensive hands-on experience with Novell NetWare and is one of the few experts still capable and willing to provide support for Legacy NetWare servers. If you are still running Novell NetWare, Marvin Huffaker can help service and support your system.

NOTE: Marvin understands that you're running NetWare in your business for a reason. Your business relies on it. It's a critical function to your operation. He will not guilt or shame you for running a legacy operating system. Instead, he will help you assess the situation and determine the best path to recovery or resolution of your problem. The goal is to get you back in business.

Novell NetWare went end of life on March 7, 2010.  If you're still running NetWare because your business needs NetWare, and you NEED to keep it around for a while, but you have issues with aging hardware or supportability....  You have options. Marvin Huffaker can help keep your NetWare servers running for as long as they are useful to your company.

One of the challenges you may face with a Legacy NetWare server is that it is difficult to find hardware that supports NetWare. With VMware vSphere, it’s possible to use new hardware with an older server Operating System such as NetWare 6.5 because the VMWare hypervisor handles the hardware drivers. If you are facing aging hardware issues and need to figure out a strategy to keep NetWare running stable, give Marvin a call and talk to him about the options.

You may not even realize this, but it's possible to migrate Novell NetWare to Linux based Open Enterprise Server and keep all of the services you currently love.

OpenText Open Enterprise Server (OES) is the logical platform choice when you are ready to upgrade from NetWare. OES is essentially the next generation of NetWare and provides the same reliable services NetWare did. But instead of on running on an outdated 32-bit proprietary system, OES runs on a high performance 64-bit SUSE Linux system. You can keep your existing infrastructure including users, groups, login scripts, drive letters (shared volumes), printing, and more.

Unlike Migrations to Windows that require a complete rip and replace effort, an OES migration can be done with MINIMAL interruption. The great thing is that in many cases, users do not even know that a major infrastructure change has been made. Open Enterprise Server is a state-of-the-art server operating system that is fast, stable, and secure. It’s just what you expect from Novell. Most of our own production servers run Novell Open Enterprise Server.
