Leveraging the Power of Domino and Notes
Messaging requirements are quickly evolving beyond traditional store-and-forward e-mail to include the integration of collaborative applications and support for corporate intranets. At the same time, the proliferation of Internet standards has facilitated ubiquitous access to information across standards-based networks and data stores. Against this backdrop, the business requirement for electronic commerce is impelling organizations to extend their messaging infrastructures to business partners, customers and suppliers.
As a consequence of these sweeping changes, exploding levels of message traffic threaten to overwhelm the throughput capabilities of separate mail and intranet systems, disparate legacy systems and the multitude of gateways connecting them.
Today's information technology executives are charged with consolidating heterogeneous e-mail systems, delivering access to new sources of information, and building a robust messaging infrastructure that meets business requirements both now and in the foreseeable future. Lotus Messaging leverages the power of the Lotus Domino Server in combination with the best of cc:Mail technology and support for both the integrated Lotus Notes client and a broad mix of single-purpose clients, to provide the only electronic messaging infrastructure that is reliable and flexible enough to meet the evolving needs of the organization -- while surpassing the highest expectations of end users.
Lotus Domino and Notes together comprise the world's most widely deployed messaging infrastructure, reflecting growing customer acceptance of integrated communications products designed to provide a greater return on investment with low overall cost of ownership. Unlike other vendors, the common vision of Lotus and IBM is to drive innovation in messaging to encompass integrated mail-enabled applications and the Internet. And no other vendor offers comparable experience, comparable support, or an equivalent range of interoperable solutions; from simple e-mail to advanced messaging that can be easily upgraded to a rich groupware environment.
Leveraging Lotus Domino and Notes, Lotus Messaging offers organizations of any size:
- Reliability. Only the proven, industrial-strength Domino Server offers the high availability of clustering, partitioning and fail-over. Domino also offers a robust directory architecture, multi-threaded routing and SMP support.
- Scalability. The Domino Server supports thousands of concurrent users under real-world conditions (over 10,000 on S/390), meeting or exceeding the requirements of both small and large organizations for a pragmatic implementation and a manageable network. The entire Domino and Notes infrastructure scales to span enterprises; offering centralized and distributed administrative functions; a replicated directory; flexible, manageable security and an object store of unlimited size.
- Integration with the current environment. Domino and Notes offer superb integration both with server platforms (particularly Windows NT), and with desktop systems and applications like Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer. Domino and Notes support all transports and protocols, run on all popular platforms, and offer unparalleled integration with enterprise systems like SAP and PeopleSoft.
- Security. Domino security is simple to administer and supports any mix of centralized and decentralized functions. Supported by the industry's premier replication model, Domino security protects data both at rest and during transmission. And Domino offers an unparalleled range of access controls to meet both inter- and intra-organizational requirements.
- Lowest cost of ownership. A Domino and Notes infrastructure saves customers money because it decreases the number of messaging system components that must be managed, and provides superior tools to support efficient administration. Moreover, Domino and Notes comprise an extensible messaging system that leverages the hardware, software, networks and training that organizations have already invested in.
- Support for open standards. Domino and Notes provide native support for all the latest Internet standards, including SMTP/MIME, HTTP, HTML, NNTP, POP3, IMAP, LDAP, SSL, SMIME and SNMP.
- An integrated, extensible infrastructure. Domino and Notes provide a single, standards-based infrastructure for advanced messaging, enterprise calendaring and scheduling, high-ROI collaborative applications and Web-based electronic commerce.
