"Medium-sized companies, such as regional retail chains, small hotel chains, mid-sized production or manufacturing companies, educational and government institutions, hospitals, and franchise operations of all kinds, can reap solid benefits from NetWare 4.1. These organizations benefit from a global directory that makes multiple networks look and act like a single logical network. This makes it easier for users to interact with network resources and each other, and for administrators to manage and control the network and its components.
Medium-sized organizations may use anywhere from a handful to a hundred servers, and usually require support for two to ten locations. The number of users ranges from the hundreds to under 5,000. It's common to see more UNIX workstations and it's also more likely that the network will need to exchange data with a minicomputer or mainframe of some kind. This is where NetWare for SAA 2.0's superior host connectivity, NetWare 4.1's TCP/IP support, NetWare Connect's remote access, and NetWare 4.1's built-in wide-area interface options come into play. Although the computing needs of medium-sized organizations continue to grow, cost controls have dictated extremely lean IS budgets and personnel allocations. NetWare 4.1 can help companies to get the best use out of their system administrators, by making them instantly more effective and productive, and extending their control over new and existing networks."
