Immer wieder kommt es vor, dass ich beim Surfen im Web auf interessante Meldungen stoße - selbst wenn ich nicht danach suche.

Auf jeden Fall hielt ich diese Meldung von DataNews Belgien für interessant genug, um mich mit meinen begrenzten Sprachkenntnissen an eine kurze Übersetzung zu wagen. Wer lieber die Originalmeldung lesen möchte, kann das natürlich gerne tun, da ich für die Übersetzung keine Gewähr übernehme.

Die Finanzminister entscheiden sich für Lotus Notes

22. August 2008 - Marc Husquinet

Mit 35.000 bis Mitte Dezember zu implementierenden 'Mailboxen' wird das SPF Finances ohne Zweifel der größte Nutzer von Lotus Notes-E-Mail in Belgien sein.

Nach 6 Jahre Installation für die Mailboxen jedes Beamten (29.000 Personen) und aller Büros im öffentlichen Dienst (6.000),  freut Louis Collet, Direktor ICT, des SPF Finances über die Erneuerung seiner E-Mail-Infrastruktur mit Lotus Notes:  "Wir sind damit ganz an der Spitze".

Das Projekt stellt eine Investition in der Größenordnung von 4,7 Mio. EUR verteilt auf 5 Jahre dar. Dieser Betrag dient für Migration, Lizenzen und Wartung.

Es handelt sich hier eindeutig um einen Sieg für IBM gegen Microsoft Exchange, denen im Jahr 2006 durch IDC einen Marktanteil von 51% (- 1%) in kooperativen Umgebungen zugesprochen wurde, gegenüber 40% in Lotus (+ 2%).

Es sei erwähnt, dass der Name des Diensteanbieters für die Implementierung wegen politischer Spannungen vor den Parlamentsferien noch nicht vorgestellt wurde.

Lotus Connection schlägt Microsoft Sharepoint in d...

Auf der Enterprise 2.0 Konferenz zwischen dem 9. und 12. Juni in Boston haben IBM und Microsoft ihre Plattformen für Social Computing im direkten
Vergleich vorgeführt. In einer dreistündigen Demonstration zeigten beide Unternehmen, welche Funktionalität Standard in ihren Produkten ist,
welche Funktionen durch Partnerlösungen ergänzt werden und was die weiteren Entwicklungspläne sind. Die Reaktion der Konferenzteilnehmer, der
Journalisten und Industrieexperten war überwältigend einheitlich: IBM war der klare Gewinner über Microsoft Sharepoint.

C.G. Lynch vom CIO Magazine teilt diese Beurteilung, "IBM und Microsoft zeigten heute ihre Social Software für den Unternehmenseinsatz auf der
Enterprise 2.0 Konferenz in Boston während einer dreistündigen Session, bei der ihre Angebote verglichen und gegenübergestellt wurden. Während
beide Anbieter zeigten, dass ihre Produkte  mit existierenden E-Mail Systemen integriert werden können (besonders natürlich mit den von ihnen
verkauften E-Mail Systemen wie Notes und Exchange), so erschien IBMs Lotus Connections verglichen mit SharePoint doch mindestens ein Jahr
oder mehr voraus mit seinen Out-of-the-box verfügbaren sozialen Computerfunktionalitäten. Und es war auch viel hübscher anzuschauen.“

Exchange blogger says iPhone+Exchange support fall...

Stefan Krueger  |     |  Tags:  microsoft iphone  |  Comments (0)
 A well-known Exchange consultant/blogger, Paul Robichaux, has blogged this morning about the much-heralded Apple iPhone integration with Microsoft Exchange. 
His bottom line -- serious gaps exist in the functionality.  For example:

  • E-mail operations such as deleting and moving to folders require a live connection to the server.  In other words, no deleting while on a plane.
  • Calendaring and scheduling is weak, with a lack of basic functions such as the ability to initiate scheduling of a group meeting
  • Tasks -- no support

Microsoft vs. IBM on Social Software

Rene Werth  |     |  Tags:  ibm connections sharepoint social-software lotus enterprise2.0 microsoft  |  Comments (0)
 
Wer sich mit dem Thema Web 2.0 in Unternehmen bzw. Enterprise 2.0 beschäftigt, wird wissen, dass vom 09.-12.Juni die Enterprise 2.0 Konferenz in Boston stattfindet. Gestern war nun also der erste Tag und gleich zu Beginn zeigten IBM und Microsoft ihre Social Software Lösungen für den Einsatz in Unternehmen.

Was dabei herauskam, hat u.a. "the451 group" hier festgehalten.

Kleiner Auszug:

"....

The Lotus demo was first. Lotus Connections is just coming out in version 2.0 and has a fairly complete set of capabilities for social networking, bookmarking, tagging, communities and blogging. The UI is clean and modern and the presenter, Suzanne Minnassian, did a great job sticking with her user scenario and showing how Connections can be used.

Then there was SharePoint. Microsoft SharePoint is of course lots of things - it’s a basic ECM product, it’s a portal and it has some nascent social computing features. But this demo was only to focus on those features, and they’re really not competition for Lotus Connections at this point. And just how nascent these features are was clearly evident this morning, in a demo that also included partner technologies and open source code. It was too technical and showed how difficult SharePoint can be to configure.... "

Das Weisse Haus "verliert" E-Mails

Seit dem Wechsel von Lotus Notes auf Exchange und Outlook archivierte das Weisse Haus den E-Mail-Verkehr "von Hand". Und "verlor" dabei die E-Mails aus drei kritischen Monaten.

Feature

 IBM Lotus Domino  VS       MS Exchange 2007

      Company

            IBM

               Microsoft

Supported Platform

Support Windows 2003, IBM AIX, Linux (on Intel), Linux (System Z), IBM i5/OS, IBM z/OS, and Sun Solaris.

Only Support 64-bit Windows Platform in production.
ITComparison Team Comments

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

 IBM Lotus Domino 8 is the definite winner when it come to the number of platform it support. Exchange 2007 support only Windows 2003 64-bit version which limit a lot of organizations who is running at different platform than Windows. Even if you are running windows 2003 you will be forced to buy window 2003 64-bit edition, as the 32-bit addition is not supported in production any more.

Complementary Products

Sametime instant messaging, IBM WebSphere Portal, Tivoli Directory Integrator, Websphere Application Server are only examples of the IBM Complementary products IBM Lotus Domino Customers are applicable for.

 Microsoft does not offer any specific complementary product with Exchange 2007, but offer extra paid products that can integrate with Exchange 2007.
ITComparison Team Comments

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

 IBM Lotus Domino 8 is the definite winner when it come to the number of Complementary products. Microsoft will charge you an arm and leg to get features equivalent to the free complementary products IBM Lotus Domino 8 customers applicable for.
Virtualization Support

Hardware & Software virtualization support

Does not support Virtualization
ITComparison Team Comments

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

* We are not sure what is Microsoft idea of not supporting Exchange 2007 in any type of virtualization at the moment and not even releasing a date when it will be supported. Yes, it might work but won't be supported by Microsoft.

 

* In the other hand IBM support Lotus Domino in both hardware virtualization (Power Series) & Software Virtualization (VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3)

 

* As Virtualization becoming to be the market trend at the moment due to the fact of it saving money, space, hardware, and easy provisioning it seems a real catch when Microsoft does not support it when exchange 2007 requires a lot more roles and more hardware which could been virtualized and allow good  saving on the hardware cost.

ITComparison Team Comments

 

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

* IBM Lotus Domino 8 can do in place upgrade of earlier versions of Domino, where Exchange 2007 can only do a complicated migration of earlier versions. It even requite upgrading Exchange 5.5 to 2000/2003 prior to migration.

* IBM Lotus Domino 8 can integrate with earlier versions of Domino, MS Exchange 2007 can do the same with Exchange 2000/2003, but not with Exchange 5.5.

* Applications written to work with earlier versions of Lotus will most likely work with Lotus Domino 8, where applications written for earlier versions of Exchange will more than likely not work with Exchange 2007 which is a huge waste of investment. 

Solution Type

  Complete Solution

Messaging only       Solution   

ITComparison Team Comments

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

* IBM Lotus Domino 8 offers e-mail, Contacts, Calendaring, team spaces, forums, Integrated IM & Presences awareness, and development tools.

 

* MS Exchange 2007 only offer a messaging solution and if you need any further functionality you have to pay for an extra product.
Composite Applications:                Yes                   No
ITComparison Team Comments

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

* IBM Lotus Domino 8 has NSF-based composite application that includes both NSF and Eclipse components that offers an easy way to make applications that integrate into Lotus Notes without extensive coding. In the other hand, Microsoft does not offer any equivalent to that.

Clustering Type:

    Application Level             OS Level
ITComparison Team Comments

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

* IBM Lotus Domino 8 Cluster is on the application level which make it more flexible and give a higher availability than Microsoft Exchange 2007 Cluster which is OS Level cluster and highly dependant on the OS Clustering capability of windows 2003.

Replication Reliability:

               High                  Low
ITComparison Team Comments

 

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

* IBM Lotus Domino has implemented replication for ages to be one of the most reliable and efficient replication methods available.

* MS Exchange 2007 is the first Exchange version to support replication. The replication was not reliable in the RTM release and got a bit better with SP1 but still not the best. In addition, Exchange 2007 replication is not efficient and requires a large amount of dedicated bandwidth which can be expensive.
Software Release Approach: Fully Tested - Ready for Production     Half-Raw till SP1
ITComparison Team Comments

 

 

 

 

-: IBM Lotus Domino 8 VS MS Exchange 2007 :-

* IBM has release Lotus Domino 8 as a solid product fully tested and ready for production, but was a bit late to market.

* Microsoft as usual early to market with half raw product at the RTM version of Exchange 2007 with many bugs and features missing few examples:

- Public folders Management GUI

- Replication was not working unless implemented directly by Microsoft with some secret hotfixes.

- Single Copy Cluster was not working unless installed with certain hotfixes in certain orders which was not mentioned any where on Microsoft website and not applying the fixes will make the cluster resources jump from a node to the other.

Note: these were few of the issues Microsoft fixed with SP1, but even SP1 had its own issues that Microsoft admit in the release note of SP1 and the installation of SP1 has not been smooth for many customers.
