=== {{anchor|5.0|5.1}}NetWare 5.''x'' === With the release of NetWare 5 in October 1998 Novell switched its primary NCP interface from the [[IPX/SPX]] network protocol to TCP/IP to meet market demand.<ref name="IW_2"/> Products continued to support IPX/SPX, but the emphasis shifted to TCP/IP. New features included: * a [[GUI]] for NetWare * [[Novell Storage Services]] (NSS), a file system to replace the traditional [[NetWare File System]] (which Novell continued to support) * [[Java virtual machine]] for NetWare * Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS), an infrastructure for printing over networks<ref name="Harris_2005_Novell"/> * ConsoleOne, a Java-based GUI administration console * directory-enabled [[Public key infrastructure]] services (PKIS) * directory-enabled [[Domain Name System|DNS]] and [[Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol|DHCP]] servers * support for [[Storage Area Network]]s (SANs) * Novell Cluster Services (NCS), a replacement for SFT-III * [[Oracle database|Oracle 8i]] with a 5-user license The Cluster Services improved on SFT-III, as NCS did not require specialized hardware or identical server configurations. Novell released NetWare 5 during a time when NetWare's [[market share]] had started dropping precipitously; many companies and organizations replaced their NetWare servers with servers running [[Microsoft]]'s [[Windows NT]] operating system. Around this time Novell also released their last upgrade to the NetWare 4 operating system, NetWare 4.2. NetWare 5 and above supported Novell NetStorage for Internet-based access to files stored within NetWare.<ref name="Kennard_2004_More"/><ref name="Johnson_2003_Upgrade"/> Novell released NetWare 5.1 in January 2000. It introduced a number of tools, such as: * [[IBM WebSphere Application Server]] * NetWare Management Portal (later called Novell Remote Manager), web-based management of the operating system * [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]], [[Network News Transfer Protocol|NNTP]] and [[streaming media|streaming-media]] servers * NetWare Web Search Server * [[WebDAV]] support
