Doesn’t anyone see an issue with this?
Tags :Sametime Gateway Sametime Advanced Lotus Connections
After spending these past two weeks doing a third Collaboration University, one thing became apparent. The disparity between all the collaboration products system requirements. Let us look first
| Sametime Gateway 8.0.1 | Sametime Advanced 8.0.1 | Lotus Connections 2.0 | |
| Websphere Application Server | WAS 6.1.0.11 | WAS 6.1.0.13 | WAS 6.1.0.13 |
| DB2 | DB2 9.1 | DB2 9.1 | DB2 9.1 FP4 |
So the way this is designed, I cannot share any infrastructure across the products. I am destined to install numerous systems. While I could install Advanced and Connections on the same WAS version, the system requirements for Connections eliminates that while idea. I could then share DB2 across the Gateway and Advanced, but not the same WAS set. This is until one of them gets an upgrade and totally changes the game once again. So plan on at least 4 servers to install the above, but with clustering and scaling for thousands (tens of thousands sometimes) you suddenly jump into the more than 20 range immediately.
You can find and cross verify the requirements under the following technotes
- Sametime Gateway - 4017448
- Sametime Advanced - 4018149
- Lotus Connections - 7011798
