ibm promotes replace Exchange w/iSeries Domino

good move ...
...Big Blue wants to give Outlook e-mail users an alternative 
to accessing Microsoft Exchange, Windows and NT server 
farms by letting them migrate to Lotus Development Corp.'s 
Domino server. 
IBM will announce on Monday Lotus Domino iNotes Access
 for Microsoft Outlook, a connector that enables users to 
consolidate Exchange servers onto one IBM eServer iSeries 
Dedicated Server for Domino without changing the look and 
feel of their Outlook clients
IBM is looking to tap an estimated 50 million Outlook users 
worldwide, translating to about 500,000 Exchange servers or 
one Exchange server handling 100 to 600 clients. Microsoft 
customers typically have five or more servers, with some large 
enterprises having hundreds of servers, according to IBM.

last October, is capable of handling from 1,000 to 10,000 e-mail 
and calendar users, officials said. Jarman even claimed that iSeries 
DSD can support up to 75,000 users
