CoolSolutions posted an article recently that has me wondering.
Novell Connections Tech Talk (November)
Scroll down to Revving up Novell Storage Services on Linux. In that section is a description of how NSS on Linux compares with NSS on NetWare. This is a very key thing since file-server performance is one of the prime road-blocks to OES-Linux deployment here at WWU. At BrainShare 2005 the NSS-on-Linux support was 12% slower than NSS-on NW. According to the above article, Novell has fixed that and the two platforms are now at parity.
There is nothing about how they ran the benchmarks there, but that is a very interesting finding. If their network file-share performance is at parity as well, that'll be another roadblock removed.
