RE: Domino (was: IBM overhauls iSeries...)

["Burns, Bryan" <burnsbm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you mind if I contact you off-list?  We too have Domino, (for an extranet
app running on a Dell 1400sc with dual PIII processors), that we have talked
about migrating to our iSeries when we upgrade our 820.  Domino makes ODBC
calls to the iSeries and we have had complaints about performance and are
thinking maybe we can improve performance by having it on the same box.
Also, boss is worried about having to do a restore on a windows machine if
the Dell crashes.  Although the Domino app is less than three years old, it
is now a critical app for our business.     

We are also due for an Exchange upgrade and talked a little about using a
Domino back end on the iSeries and keeping the Outlook client.  

We are in the dark as to how to justify moving anything to the iSeries so
your suggestions would be most welcome.

I guess that it depends on who you know.  A former employer converted from
MS Mail to Domino (on AS/400) in 1999.  (5000 users, very happy with the
results.)  My current company uses Exchange for email, but has had a Domino
server running a DB application for many years.  We are currently migrating
our Domino application to the iSeries and once done will evaluate moving
email to Domino rather than upgrading Exchange.

I have never seen Domino installed at any location
other than IBM's.

It pretty widely accepted that IBM took a major bath
on the Lotus purchase. It's hard to make money on a
product that given away for the most part.(pc world)
