White Paper
From the contents of this whitepaper, the reader can see firsthand that the multi-tenant nature of the IBM SmartCloud Notes cloud-based service takes the scalable architecture of the on-premises Lotus Domino product line to even greater heights. With "Cloud" becoming an increasingly viable delivery mechanism for providing robust services around mail, calendaring and contacts, organizations of all sizes can now move some or all end-users to the cloud at a comfortable rate and pace. IBM recognizes that any decision to move to the cloud requires balancing cost, effort, time-to-deploy, and user impact. to that end, IBM has gone to great lengths to provide choice in seamless deployment scenarios, robust migration and transitional tooling, and flexibility in client platforms combined with security-rich data centers around the globe. So, whether choosing to deploy IBM SmartCloud Notes in the service-only configuration to a freshly provisioned set of users, or, choosing to leverage the "hybrid" configuration to seamlessly integrate with an existing on-premises Lotus Domino environment, IBM SmartCloud Notes is the cloud service that has been designed from the ground up for optimal performance in organizations of virtually any size, now and into the future.
At IBM we strive to implement security and privacy best practices. The SmartCloud Notes security controls provide a range of protection of e-mail while enabling business operations. SmartCloud Notes helps to protect our customers' information through governance, tools, technology, techniques, and personnel, each of which is discussed in this whitepaper.
