Netware is multitasking (any server operating system has to be) - I think the question is though how well it multitasks. We all know the problems we had with Win 3.1 (and still have Win95) due to co-operative multitasking instead of pre-emptive multitasking. But since Netware is relatively mature (it has been around for many years now), it should be able to handle Oracle OK within a not too large environment.
Data security has very little to do with multitasking, except for the actual technical implementation of the security modules/programs/code.
Personal preference/opinion - Windows-NT is a more stable and robust application server than Netware, has a lower learning curve for users already familiar with Windows and I think there are more Windows-NT skills on the market than Novell.
