'''Open Enterprise Server''' ('''OES''') is a [[Server (computing)|server]] [[operating system]] published by [[Novell]] in March 2005 to succeed their [[NetWare]] product.<ref name="Morgan">{{cite web |url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/12/13/novell_open_enterprise_server_11/ |last=Prickett Morgan |first=Timothy |date=13 December 2011 |title=NetWare-Linux Love Child Turned Up to 11 |website=[[The Register]] |access-date=2017-02-07}}</ref>

Unlike NetWare, Novell OES is a [[Linux distribution]]—specifically, one based on [[SUSE Linux Enterprise Server]]. The first major releasesrelease of Open Enterprise Server (OES 1) could run either with a [[Linux kernel]] (with a [[NetWare]] [[compatibility layer]]) or Novell's [[NetWare]] [[Kernel (operating system)|kernel]] (with a [[Linux]] compatibility layer).<ref name="Morgan" /> Novell discontinued the NetWare kernel prior to the release of OES 2, but NetWare 6.5 SP7, and later SP8 can run as a [[Paravirtualization|paravirtualized]] [[Hardware virtualization#Paravirtualization|guest]] inside the [[Xen]] [[hypervisor]], until today (Officially supported until 7 March 2012, Novell self-supported until 7 March 2015).
