SuSE Linux Groupware Server Now The Most Powerful Lotus Solution
For Intel And AMD 32-bit Processors
New SuSE Linux Groupware Server Supports Up to 6000 Clients Per
Server
Nuremberg, Germany, June 27, 2002 - Today, SuSE Linux, the
international Open Source technology leader and solutions
provider, announced the release of an updated version of the SuSE
Linux Groupware Server. The interweaving of the Linux operating
system with the newly released Lotus Application Server 5.0.10
makes the SuSE Linux Groupware Server the most powerful Lotus
solution for Intel and AMD 32-bit processors.
The SuSE Linux Groupware Server combines the stability and
security of the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system with
the comprehensive functionality of Lotus Domino, the world's most
widely used messaging and web application server. Boasting upwards
of 85 million Notes users, Lotus is undisputedly number one when
it comes to the groupware and messaging market. Companies and
departments with more than 50 PC workstations now benefit from the
following improvements:
- Optimized performance
Through seamless integration of the operating system with the
application server, the new SuSE Linux Groupware Server clearly
tops the performance of similar systems. With the SuSE Linux
Groupware Server on the x86 architecture, response periods are
up to 60% shorter than those of comparable server operating
systems.
- Improved scalability
SuSE Linux Groupware Server easily handles up to 6000 users.
Standard Linux distributions have a limited capacity of about
1000 users.
- Remote control included
The new version of SuSE Linux Groupware Server allows
maintenance via the intranet or the Internet, for both the
operating system as well as the Domino applications. This
saves time and reduces costs.
- Integrated system interfaces for other applications
SuSE Linux Groupware Server offers interfaces for widely used
applications and solutions such as MS Office, MS Outlook, and
SAP/R3. Thus, the SuSE Linux Groupware Server is the ideal
platform for enterprise deployment.
SuSE Linux Groupware Server is built on the SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server 7 operating system with the new Linux kernel 2.4.18. Lotus
Application Server 5.0.10 provides efficient tools for document
management, workflow management, messaging, and scheduling.
Furthermore, the Lotus Application Server constitutes a flexible
basis for the rapid development of its own web and messaging
applications.
As part of ongoing system maintenance, SuSE delivers all relevant
patches, fixes, and updates for the server operating system in a
quality-assured and well-documented form. SuSE Linux Groupware
Server helps companies implement their IT infrastructure
inexpensively, reliably, and securely on a long-term basis;
certifications of leading hardware and software providers retain
their validity even after updates.
*** Price and Availability
The new SuSE Linux Groupware Server will be available from SuSE
Linux Business Partners by the end of June. The recommended retail
price of EUR 3,490.00 + VAT for one server includes extensive
documentation, 30 days of product support and 12 months of system
maintenance.
