Novell on Monday announced a strategic relationship with Intel to optimize the 64-bit Intel Merced chip, which is on track for delivery in 1999, for the Novell NetWare architecture.
"We plan to build the fastest Intel-based server platform in the world, bar none," said Chris Stone, vice president of strategy and corporate development at Novell.
Novell and Intel also agreed to collaborate on a cryptography interface. "The two of us are going to collaborate and build a strong future for security on the Internet," Stone said.
Both companies said they will release further details about the partnership later this week during the Brainshare technical conference in Salt Lake City.
"Nearly 99 percent of NetWare runs on Intel," Stone said. "This is a natural relationship."
