The seminar will be broadcast on Wednesday, October 30, 2002 at two separate times: 10 am EST and again at 2 pm EST.

These experts in data storage and security will discuss how companies can store information and data more efficiently and safely, while at the same time making it readily accessible to their employees, customers, suppliers and business partners whenever and wherever they need it. Data storage and protection for NetWare, clusters and GroupWise will be some focal topics covered.

Participants will learn how to get skyrocketing data management costs under control. They will find out how Novell can help satisfy overwhelming demands for storage capacity and deliver non-stop access to their data center for their branch offices and users.
