Reasons to upgrade to Lotus Domino R6.5
SearchDomino.com expert Michael Lazar offers some key reasons why Lotus Domino R6.5x is superior to previous versions of Lotus Domino.
I am not finding any simple charts, but the list is massive and compelling. Throw in the fact that Lotus Domino R5 is no longer supported, and I can't see why you wouldn't upgrade. I'll start a partial list from memory, but I am sure some readers will have more. Also, remember Domino 7 is now out with even more scalability and stability than R6.5.
- Lotus Domino R6.5x is far more scalable and stable than Lotus Domino 5.
- Lotus Domino R6.5x is also much more granular in Domino server security.
- SMTP security is greatly enhanced. You can now set policies for Lotus Notes clients to keep them standard and push changes to them.
- The mail template and functionality is vastly improved. There is the ability to do network compression and replication streaming, improving replication times greatly.
- Lotus Domino R6.5x has the built in Sametime presence awareness.
- You can now begin journaling all messages in Lotus Domino R6.5x.
- Transactional logging is much more efficient than it was in Lotus Domino R5.
Like I said, the list is long and compelling. These are just a few of the major highlights I could think of.
