Sametime 7.5 and the RTC Gateway
Tags :Sametime
I have been interested in this since it was announced at Lotusphere just over 6 months ago. But it seems that the Real-time Collaboration Gateway will not see light of day when Sametime 7.5 first ships. I have not heard a peep about beta of this portion of the product and out perusing the blogs I came across Adam G's posting on how the Mac will not make it into the first GA release either.
I would love to see this ship sooner or even start playing around with it. I have companies asking about this ability since it will allow a more controlled chat environment with the rest of the world. Now the gateway will use SIP to hit the outside products (Yahoo, G-talk and AIM) which the native protocol will take care of Sametime to Sametime connectivity. I can see a bunch of connectors (including one for Sametime to Sametime communities) you can install or turn on and off to control which outside chat vendors your people speak to. Or maybe this will move into policy control also.
