Abstract
IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 provides greater messaging andapplication scalability and functionality coupled with ease ofadministration. The new features in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5further reduce the total cost of ownership by leveraging existinginvestments in Notes and Domino and its applications.
New features:
Simplified identity management through Shared Logon and ID Vault.Shared Logon provides a secure way of accessing Notes and Dominoapplications while maintaining only a single password. The new ID Vaultfeature allows administrators to securely automate tasks such asrecovering lost IDs and password resets, allowing administrators to focuson other important tasks.
Reduce storage costs using the new Domino Attachment and ObjectService (DAOS). DAOS reduces redundant storage of attachments and I/Ouse, resulting in significantly reduced storage costs, backup efforts,and optimized workflow operations.
Improved quality of service features such as Domino ConfigurationTuner and dynamic group policies provide administrators the ability todetect misconfigurations before problems arise and maintain consistentpolicies as members of organizations change.
Create better looking Web 2.0 applications. The Eclipse based DominoDesigner provides a flexible and integrated framework for applicationdevelopment. The new XPages design element feature provides applicationdevelopers an efficient way to easily update information across multipleapplications, saving time and money.
Calendar federation and flexibility allows end users the ability toincorporate public calendars (such as Google calendars) and view theircomplete schedule.
Expanded platform support provides additional options for users whowant the flexibility to choose the operating system and hardware thatfits their needs in terms of factors such as cost, organizationalexpertise, physical size, scalability, and energy consumption.
Lotus Enterprise Integrator adds support for MySQL database, enhancedcontrol for replication activities and 64-bit editions for AIX whichimproves the efficiency of data transfer between systems.
IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 provides administrators, designers, andend users with the secure framework and infrastructure they've come todepend on while reducing the cost of ownership and increasing the toolsand flexibility available to them. Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 continuesto offer integrated features such as Lotus Sametime instant messaging andoffice productivity tools via Lotus Symphony, providing a complete set ofreadily available solutions for businesses.

Description |
Continuing with Notes and Domino's commitment to being a leader in themessaging and application arena by providing valuable features andfunctionality for its customers, IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 providesbusinesses with the flexibility and tools needed to communicate andcollaborate. IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 incorporates additionalfeatures that businesses have asked for to ensure that you can maximizeyour value while decreasing operation costs. You have requested greaterapplication development capabilities, ways to reduce storage costs,improved quality of service, ease of administration, and greaterfunctionality and flexibility for client activities such as calendar.We listened. Using an extensive design partner program to activelysolicit feedback both prior to the planning process and during thedevelopment process, IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 provides featuresthat you have requested.
IBM Lotus Notes and Domino understands that business needs vary byorganization and industry, and that a one size infrastructure doesn't fitall. Holding strong to our customer value commitment, IBM Lotus Notesand Domino customers can choose the operating system and hardware thatfits their needs based on factors such as cost, organizational expertise,physical size, scalability, and energy consumption. IBM Lotus Notes andDomino 8.5 expands platform capabilities with the addition of support forplatforms such as AIX 64 bit, Windows 2008 64 bit, Citrix 64 bit, Ubuntu8.0.4, and Macintosh OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Further, the deployment ofNotes and Domino can accommodate business requirements such as physicallocation and high availability.
Administrators, managers, and end users can take advantage of theflexibility while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with the Notesand Domino security model. IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 expandssecurity capabilities through new features such as ID Vault and SharedLogon. The new ID Vault feature allows administrators to securelyautomate tasks such as recovering lost IDs and password resets, allowingadministrators to focus on other important tasks. Shared Logon providesa secure way of accessing Notes and Domino applications while maintainingonly a single password that end users are familiar with, the Windowspassword.
IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 reduces the cost of ownership throughnew features and functionality such as Domino Attachment and ObjectService (DAOS), further optimization of information handling (I/O), andstreamlined administrative based tasks such as Schedule and Design.
DAOS provides a way to reduce redundancy of stored information,resulting in reduced storage costs, backup efforts, and optimizedworkflow operations. This service allows organizations to store only oneinstance of an attachment as opposed to having multiple copies stored andwritten to disk. For an example, when a large attachment such as aspreadsheet is sent via email to many recipients, Domino can beconfigured to store only one copy of the spreadsheet. This can result insignificant disk space savings, and is further compounded for cases whenan individual performs a 'reply to all', and the spreadsheet is resent,as DAOS will utilize the already stored version. Of course, if thespreadsheet or attachment is modified, DAOS will store the newly modifiedcopy as a separate version. The service is transparent to users andapplications.
New quality of service features available in IBM Lotus Notes andDomino 8.5 include: Domino Configuration Tuner (May change to DominoConfiguration Advisor) and Dynamic group policies.
Domino Configuration Tuner is a utility that provides administratorsthe ability to detect misconfigurations before problems arise. Commonuse cases may be for mistaken configuration settings, and for bestpractice information. Domino Configuration Tuner allows administratorsto detect possible configuration problems before the problems becomecostly in an organization.
Dynamic group policies allows administration to maintain consistentpolicies as members of organizations change, allowing administrators tofocus on other value added tasks.
IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 continues to offer new functionalityand features while maintaining the investment that you make in Notes andDomino. Notes and Domino applications, written in prior releases ofNotes and Domino, continue to function and provide value, allowing you torealize the value of investing in Notes and Domino. To further leveragethe investment and increase the value proposition, Notes and Domino 8.5builds on existing capabilities to allow greater flexibility withapplication development. Some of the new application developmentfeatures in IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 are:
These features provide functionality that customers have requested,such as the ability to view Notes calendar entries along with personaland public calendars, such as Google calendars. To allow for maximumflexibility, calendar availability can be online or offline, allowingindividuals the capability to view their entire schedule of events whiledisconnected.
IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 is for businesses that desire top linegrowth through innovation and productivity solutions. IBM Lotus Notesand Domino 8.5 provides high quality messaging and application solutionsthat can evolve as business needs change, providing the necessaryflexibility to change as business needs dictate. With integratedfeatures such as Lotus Sametime and Lotus Symphony, organizations have acomplete messaging and application system, without having to purchaseoffice productivity tools. As part of the IBM Lotus software offering,IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 offers the ability to integrate with otherIBM offerings such as Lotus Quickr and Lotus Connections.
IBM Lotus Enterprise Integrator 8.5 allows businesses to leverage theyhave made in disparate systems by allowing them to integrate data andservices between applications. Release 8.5 adds the ability integratedata from MySQL into Lotus Notes application or into any of the othersystems supported such as SAP. There are a number of other enhancementsincluding the ability to run a 64-bit edition of Lotus EnterpriseIntegrator on AIX which improves the efficiency of data transfer betweensystems.
