IBM Lotus Domino White Paper

Improve user accessibility white reducing server costs

Your IT infrastructure is unique and there is no single technology solution that provides a perfect blend of cost savings, resiliency and capabilities for every situation. For managing data and email, we’ve found that IBM Domino servers and other Lotus infrastructure and applications are often a good fit for our customers’ business needs.

Reduce significant costs with IBM Domino

IBM Domino servers provide avenues for companies to reduce costs and improve efficiencies by scaling up rather than scaling out. Domino servers can be upgraded and also easily integrate into multiple virtual environments, reducing the total cost of ownership, hardware and licensing fees. Ease of scalability rather than a cookie-cutter setup allows for affordable and gradual growth of your organization’s infrastructure.

When undertaking a messaging and communications solution to improve the client’s sales workflow, we found that we were able to reduce the cost of the project significantly by using the IBM Domino server, compared with a competing brand.

Secure and reliable solution for user accessibility

Lotus Domino server software provides effective security in a number of key areas, including authentication through public key infrastructure, verification through digital signatures, encryption and robust access management, using Lotus Notes certificates for new users.

Clustering technology also adds to the resilience of Lotus Domino infrastructure, as you can easily tie multiple servers (physical or virtual) together for transparent failover. That means, if a particular server becomes unavailable, your users can still have access to email and applications on replica servers. This ensures your business continuity.

This robust setup was definitely a factor in one of our customers’ decisions to use the Lotus Domino server for its collaboration capabilities, as well as enabling reliable Lotus Notes email.
