Extend the Value of the Mainframe for Collaboration

  

Lotus Domino on Linux on System z has matured into a powerful mail and collaboration platform leveraging the use of the mainframe for the highest virtualization and availability capable of supporting very large workloads.

IBM had announced the its Enterprise Computing Model project as the Project ‘Big Green’ in 2007 and said that thousands of distributed servers will be migrated to thirty IBM System z9 servers running virtual Linux servers.

As part of this transition, IBM consolidated parts of its unified Lotus Notes architecture which provides support to the entire IBM organization, called Global Notes Architecture (GNA), to Linux on System z. Read about the impressing results of this successful consolidation, providing a great proof point for the outstanding consolidation capabilities of the virtual Linux environment on System z.

Mary E. Shacklett wrote an article about a client in the Mainframe Executive magazine, who selected Lotus Notes for the first major virtualization project:

“(The director of Software and Database Services Division) and his staff projected that the Lotus Notes migration alone would significantly reduce software and hardware maintenance costs, as well as middleware expenses. On the project execution side, the Lotus Notes project also served as a pilot and proof of concept that would be used as a springboard for phased virtualization projects in other areas that also coincide with corporate asset retirement cycles and software license renewals.”
