Every network is a dynamic, ever-changing system.
When it comes to consolidating server hardware or adding the unpredictable traffic of the Internet and intranets, even the most confident network architect can feel a little uneasy. And while vendors position their server hardware and network OS enhancements, touting multiprocessor support, higher capacities and greater cost efficiencies, it's easy to wonder if their published specifications are theoretical or real-world capacities. Yet, customers want proof that their specific multi-vendor hardware and software configurations will perform at least as specified before placing them into their enterprise production environments. Novell couldn't agree more. Today, the event conducted for market-leading hardware and software vendors is now known as Novell's SuperLab Challenge.
