Multiprocessing may be the left-out middle child of Novell NetWare 6s trio of performance advances. Stuck between the considerable improvements in NSS (Novell Storage System) and NCS (Novell Clustering Services), multiprocessor support rarely gets mentioned on its own. Often an afterthought, the story becomes "New file services power improved clustering, and, oh yes, improved multiprocessor support" in NetWare .This slight does a disservice to the impressive technical improvements displayed in NetWare 6 with considerably improved multiprocessing support. A totally separate technology advance from the file system and clustering, multiprocessing in NetWare 6 deserves more of a spotlight. After all, performance improvements in server throughput, application support power, and load balancing across a cluster all owe much to the technical foundation of multiprocessor support.
