Kevin Kavanagh - blogging the keynote
Category
Kevin Kavanagh - opening keynote speech. Brent Peters comes to stage aswell. Will just blog the key points below (hit refresh every now and then as I am updating)
Notes and Domino's focus will be social computing platform.
Going beyond the normal paradigms of desktop software computing
Green computing a focus... Reduce power consumption of services
Lotus have lead the way in enterprise social networking software
Focus on what has come with the Notes 8 client (mail UI, widgets etc)
Traveler and iPhone discussed. 8.5 version will support symbian (nokia)
8.5 will be released during 4th Quarter
Screenshots of connections on the blackberry shown. More announcements from RIM coming soon on support for more lotus collaborative solutions.
Mobile
Sync version of iPhone being actively worked on. Demo will be available soon (I'm reading Lotusphere but don't hold me to that)
When INotes Ultralite was submitted to Apple applications, IBM had 50,000 referrals to their site in two hours
Citrix
702 - 37 users on a citrix blade
801 - 13 users on a citrix blade
802 - 26 users on a citrix blade
Configuration available for 802 that will allow 40 users (this is using PAE and doubling RAM). This configuration documentation has not been released yet. Configuration of this will be made simpler in next versions of Lotus Notes client software
Lotus Foundations
Review of announcements and releases
email/print sharing/vpn/firewall/backup/anti virus/anti spam all in one box. This is the start model. Rumours of collaborative setups on the way (i.e. linking foundations servers) mentioned yesterday.
Lotus Hosted services
IBM hosted mail service announced 10 days ago - cloud based Notes service. Will also give accurate cost per user of services.
You can resuse existing licenses
Prices will range from $8 to $18 per user per month sold annually depending on software and service selections.
Followed by press/analysis comments made on Notes/Domino
Composite applications and project Atlantic discussed
What's coming next in 8.5 and beyond
"Manage my day.. manage my stuff"
xPages in the client mentioned (not just browser). The merging of rich client and web client.
DAOS - restructure your disk costs and save on expensive disks
ID Management - ID Vault and directory independence mentioned. Self service id management.
Notes 8.5 is considered the highest quality build ever released. Over 100 nsf/stability defects have been resolved. 7200 separate points addressed in this build.
Over all 40-60% disk savings
50-65% disk IO reduction
35% CPU reduction in 8.5
The old Microsoft Application Analyser was mentioned...(har har)
Lotus protector
Security and compliance capability discussed briefly.
ODF and Symphony
Announcements being made tomorrow on ODF in Beijing
