Lotus products for iSeries 661
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486LPDom.fm
Centralized backup and recovery for applications and data and the ability to
run multiple partitioned Domino servers (DPARs) on one physical iSeries
server leads to increased system availabilty.
Scalability
The iSeries server product line allows for nondisruptive growth from a
uni-processor to a 32-way system on the same operating system, using the
same skill sets.
Server efficiency
iSeries servers feature system management capabilities that allow processor
resources to be highly used. Servers that lack these capabilities lead to
server farms of poorly used systems.
Server consolidation
Multiple physical Domino servers can be consolidated into one iSeries server,
and additional users can be catered for without additional servers. This saves
cost and eases the management environment. Local area network (LAN)
traffic declines as Domino servers communicate over the virtual Ethernet
within the iSeries hardware.
Integration
Domino for iSeries is designed to integrate with many of the built-in Operating
System/400 (OS/400) services including security, backup and recovery,
systems management, iSeries Navigator, Java virtual machine (JVM), and
IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) for iSeries. Furthermore, the iSeries is
the only server that allows deployment of Linux, Java, UNIX, Windows, AIX 5L
and Domino-based applications on a single server.
Domino server options
Lotus Domino for iSeries is a powerful, popular, versatile, and integrated
groupware product from Lotus Software. It provides functions that include e-mail,
workflow-based computing, and the integration and management of both
structured and unstructured data. Domino is a
server product that runs on a
variety of platforms, providing easy-to-manage interpretability in a
heterogeneous network.
Versions of IBM Lotus Domino prior to Version 6 are not supported at IBM i5/OS
V5R3. Lotus Domino 6 for iSeries includes five separately orderable
components, as represented in the following table.
