With V4R4, the OV/400 Migration to Domino for AS/400 licensed program allows the
migration of users, groups, mail, calendars, and folders to Domino from OV/400. The Lotus
Calendar Connector for OfficeVision (LCCOV) allows free-time search and the distribution of
meeting notices between Domino and OfficeVision/400.
Unmatched Scalability
Within a single architecture, AS/400e spans a vast performance spectrum. The smallest
Domino for AS/400e server may have less than a dozen users. The largest AS/400e system
is capable of accommodating more than 10,000 mail users on a single footprint.
The breakthrough price performance of the AS/400e servers and OS/400 V4R2 or later
means that AS/400e configurations can support this broad range of Lotus Domino users in a
cost-effective manner.
World-Class Reliability and Availability
With more than 650,000 systems shipped worldwide, the AS/400e system has earned a
reputation as a reliable, undemanding workhorse. Domino for AS/400e takes advantage of
the reliability and availability features of the AS/400e system, such as RAID-5, mirrored disk
units, and integrated backup capability. Each Lotus Domino server runs as an OS/400
application in its own subsystem. The unique architecture of OS/400 helps make it safe to run
your Lotus Domino server and your mission-critical business applications on the same
AS/400e.
