Multi-Protocol Support Novell Storage Services (NSS) Differences Between Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2015 and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 ® Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 is Designed for Applications • Optimized as a single user application platform – No “clean slate” design in any generation – Maximum backward compatibility to MS-DOS – Rebooting is necessary to keep system running well – 8 For services and registry entries © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Novell Open Enterprise Server 2015 is Designed for Networking ® • Optimized as a multiple user server platform – “Clean slate” architecture in almost every generation – Very little backward compatibility to previous versions – Rebooting the system is rarely needed for system operation – 9 Changes can be performed dynamically with stability © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Windows for Workgroups was a Networking Add-on by Microsoft No “clean slate” design Backward compatibility is Microsoft’s main design goal – Can be workstation AND server Uses a peer to peer networking architecture Designed for the end user – 10 Little training needed to administer network © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Task Manager 11 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Novell OES 2015 was Designed from the Ground Up for Networking ® • Maximum “clean slate” design • Network services optimization is Novell’s main goal – • Uses a mainframe networking architecture • Designed for a trained professional to manage – 12 Built as a server only Training is required to administer Novell OES 2015 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Novell OES 2015 Optimizes Services ® • Optimizing networking services is the main goal – NetWare 2 was 16 bit operating system (OS) for 80286 ® – – NetWare 3 was 32 bit OS written from ground up for 80386 – NetWare 4 was eDirectory X.500 design – NetWare 5 was TCP/IP written into core OS – NetWare 6 added web services – Open Enterprise Server for Linux is Novell Linux Services – 13 Not based on MS-DOS NetWare services recoded and ported to Linux with 64 bit code © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Emphasizes Backward Compatibility • Optimizing backward compatibility is the main goal – Windows for Workgroups was not “clean slate” – – Windows NT Server was a 32 bit implementation of Workgroup for Windows – – Built on MS-DOS (16 bit operating system) Domains were added Windows 2000 Server added TCP/IP – Still uses NetBEUI encapsulated in IP – Added space restrictions – Added Active Directory – Domain Name System (DNS) writ large – 14 Not a “clean slate” directory service © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. NetBEUI Encapsulated in IP 15 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. 16 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. 17 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Microsoft DNS Required for Active Directory on Windows Server 2012 R2 18 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 is Windows for Workgroups on Steroids • Domains were added to Microsoft Windows for Workgroups with Microsoft NT – Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 is the latest shipping version of NT – Windows Server 2012 R2 is an excellent application platform – Rebooting frequently is necessary for system to run smoothly – Continues to use peer to peer networking model – Requires little training for administration – There has never been a “clean slate” revamping of Microsoft Windows – 19 Backward compatibility is still highest design priority © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Novell OES 2015 is Optimized for Serving ® • Novell is dedicated to supporting ALL clients – This allows Novell to focus on engineering for: – Reliability – Performance – Ease of Administration – NetWare 2 optimized for performance and administration – NetWare 3 optimized for reliability ® – NOT backward compatible with NetWare 2 – Server oriented administration – Introduced dynamically loaded modules – 20 No rebooting required © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Novell OES 2015 is Optimized for Serving (Continued) ® • NetWare 4 optimized for single point administration ® – Network oriented administration – – eDirectory™ – • NOT backward compatible with bindery NetWare 5 optimized TCP/IP – Administrator required setup of ALL hosts – – No “automatic” network communication “Native” Novell Core Protocol (NCP) calls – 21 No logging in to individual servers No encapsulation of IPX © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. File Systems Comparison • • 22 Novell OES 2015 file systems are always shared ® – Entire file system – For servers only Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 file systems have to be manually shared – Individual folders – For workstations and servers © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. 23 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Network Services Contrast Novell OES is a dedicated server ® 24 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Microsoft Windows is a workstation and a server 25 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Security Differences Novell OES uses true inheritance for security ® Microsoft Windows uses copy from the parent 26 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. 27 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Server Users • Novell Open Enterprise Server 2015 has no concept of a local user ® – Only eDirectory™ login needed – • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 needs a local user – Workstation user – 28 No individual server login Local logon © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Directories Novell eDirectory™ allows trees to be merged and partitioned. Partitions can be replicated. ® Microsoft Active Directory does NOT allow forests to be merged. AD does NOT allow trees to be partitioned. Trees can be replicated, but 100% of database must be copied. 29 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Novell OES 2015 and Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 ® Reasons for Differences Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2015 was Designed from a Mainframe Model ® • Mainframe model – – Central point of administration – File system – Printing – Other resources Security defaults to “locked down” status – – Training required for administrators – – No user access by default Administrator must grant access to resources Network connectivity is custom configured – Administrator must install and configure network access – 31 No automatic network connectivity © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Mainframe Model Advantages and Disadvantages • • Advantages – Efficient administration – Maximum security – Scales for growth – Customized for particular IT needs Disadvantages – Training is required for administrators – Planning is required for initial install and upgrades – No automatic configuration – 32 No “One size fits all” © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 was Designed from a Workgroup Model • Peer to peer model – Distributed points of administration – – 33 – File system – Printing – Other resources Security defaults to access for everyone – • Server to server ALL users have access by default No administrator training expected © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Peer to Peer Model Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages – – Little or no training is needed for administrators No need for planning for initial install and upgrades – automatic configuration – Install 2 or more PCs with Microsoft Windows – 34 Instant peer to peer connectivity between PCs © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Disadvantages – Inefficient administration – Minimum security – Doesn’t scale easily – “One size fits all” Knowing the Design Differences Between Novell OES 2015 and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Helps You ® Security Philosophies • Allow all except – Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 – Built on a workgroup design – All users can access all resources by default – • Deny all except – Novell OES 2015 ® – Built on mainframe security model – No users can access any resources by default – 36 Administrator can restrict access Administrator can enable access © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. 37 © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Shared File Systems • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 – • – Each individual folder must be shared manually – No user shares exist by default – Copy down (hierarchy) can be used to determine user permissions – All user access allowed by default – Administrator can restrict shared file system access Novell OES 2015 ® – 38 File System Shares Novell Storage Services (NSS) – Entire file system is shared automatically – Inheritance can be used to determine user file system access – No user access allowed by default – Administrator enables access through inheritance © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Directory Database Designs Greatest Difference between OES 2015 and Windows 2012 R2 • Novell OES 2015 ® – eDirectory™ – Stable and mature (20 years old) – Designed for performance and redundancy – – Partitions break up database for quicker object access – Replicas provide fault tolerance Flexible – Easy to reconfigure structure – – 39 Merging of trees allowed Created to move leaf and container objects easily – Attributes stay with object – No loss of attributes by reconfiguration © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Directory Database Designs (Continued) Greatest Difference between OES 2015 and Windows 2012 R2 • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 – Active Directory – Less mature (14 years old) – Designed for backward compatibility with domains – Directory copies are 100% of the database – – Puts extra strain on server resources for lookups, etc. Less flexible – Difficult to reconfigure structure – – Forest merges are not possible Not easy to move leaf and container objects – Attributes stay with object’s original location in tree ~ 40 Can lose attributes by reconfiguration © Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Administration Techniques • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 – • Server by server administration – Administration tools are installed by default on server (not workstation) – Local login to server required for administration Novell OES 2015 ® – Single point administration – Administration is performed from the workstation – Login to directory only is required for administrator – 41 No server login needed © Novell, Inc.
