IBM Lotus Notes 8.0.2 on Citrix XenApp 4.5: A scalability analysis
This white paper provides an overview of, and recommendations, for how to get the most from your IBM Lotus Notes client on the Citrix XenApp server. In particular, we show that, by tuning your environment so that you get the most from your applications, you can realize significant improvements in running the Lotus Notes client on XenApp. This is true for both the standard and the basic configurations of Lotus Notes.
Moreover, with the addition of 64-bit Citrix XenApp server support for the Lotus Notes client in 8.0.2, you can scale to even higher numbers--well over 100 users--at a much reduced cost. Also presented are the testing environment, tuning parameters, and the workflows that were executed to gather the scalability data.

Understanding IBM Lotus Sametime Unified Telephony
This white paper defines the IBM Unified Communications and Collaboration (IBM UC2) vision of making it easy for you to find, reach, and collaborate with others through a unified user experience. This strategy is implemented by means of the IBM Lotus Sametime Unified Telephony (SUT) software offering that is designed to make it easy for you to access and manage telephone communications from inside the Lotus Sametime or Lotus Notes client.
We examine the rich set of SUT features and provide an in-depth technical analysis on how you can add SUT to existing heterogeneous PBX environments without having to replace legacy telephony equipment. Due to the variation of possible deployment options, we cover each scenario from a high level, focusing on how each decision affects the enterprise, down to the individual call flows.
This paper provides supplementary information to other published IBM documents that further describe Lotus Sametime and the IBM UC2 vision. |

Introducing Domino XML Language (DXL)
To implement database or template customization for users' demands, you usually need to dynamically and automatically add design elements, such as an agent, a view, or a folder, to existing databases, or to modify existing design elements in the database. Domino XML Language (DXL) is an XML representation of IBM® Lotus® Domino® data and design elements that provides a great way to implement the capture of design elements and the import or export of design elements to and from databases. In this article, we introduce the concept of DXL, and through use cases with detailed implementation, we illustrate how to apply DXL to dynamically add or modify design elements to complete the user's database or template customization. |

Comment lines: Ruth Willenborg: The new reality made possible by virtual images
both deliver
Virtual images make installing and configuring software faster and easier than ever
before. IBM products shipped with virtual images, such as the beta versions of
WebSphere Application Server V7 and WebSphere Portal V6.1, have seen great success.
The work being done on the Open Virtual Format (OVF) standard, for packaging and
describing virtual machines and applications for deployment across heterogeneous virtualization platforms, should make it
even easier still. (IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal) |
