Upon his arrival at Novell, Noorda realized that the future of computer networking lay in the software and not the hardware. Novell’s product, Netware, dominated the network operating system market in the early 1990s by making it possible for individual users on all platforms to share information and resources. Under Noorda’s leadership, Novell grew from a $3.8 million to $1 billion company by the end of his tenure.
