Lotus Workplace Messaging (LWM)
Tags :General
Lotus
has fired off the announcement of Lotus
Workplace Messaging (LWM), not to
be confused with Lotus Instant Messaging (LIM = Sametime) and Lotus Understood
Messaging Previously (LUMP). Ok, I am kidding on that last one, really
I am. Go search for yourself.
We
are one of the launch partners for the product and low and behold, we have
a request for a hosted implementation now that it is an official product.
So I am off firing up servers now to reach these
specs for the new environment. With
that said, the product has intrigued me from the beginning when we had
beta code. We proposed this package idea almost 3 years ago at the
briefing center in Cambridge to Lotus people. Yes, some of them happen
to be involved with this very product (and I won't say names). we
wanted for the hosting side a scalable, low maintenance, high performance,
messaging only environment. Of course we never anticipated that far
back the integration with DB2. Just the ability to parse out the
Domino server tasks. This is close. With LDAP we have directory
integration and now the scaling is what we want to see. So off to
firing it up and of course, blog updates on it.
Eli
Harris (another Admin2003 speaker on Sametime) and myself are on the path
to getting Sametime to allow multiple directories without the users being
able to see each other. Anyone have an interest in that idea so partners
and customers could be in different directories not be able to look at
each other names through the Connect client? It seems no matter what
you do locally with ACL or Enforce Consistent ACLs it doesn't stop the
Sametime server from retrieving the lists from all directories. Hmmmmmm
