My Friday’s posting on Sametime 7.5 got some email and responses
Tags :Sametime
People were questioning what I was hinting at. Well since I see 7.5 coming out the door in official launches and such soon, I should explain there is room to grow in the management and some things deferred till later that would be awesome now.
Sean Harris points me to Chris Pepin's posting with the pdf from Lotusphere on the scalability of the IBM Sametime environment. Taking a screenshot from there, how many of you could get your enterprise to offer a server farm like this (of course scale to your size of employees) ?
Picture multiple MUX servers with Community Sametime servers sitting behind that. A world of possibilities yes. But my posting was not about the server side as much as the client.
My comments revolved around how fast it jumped out of of beta even after a beta call just days before, not the scalability of the product. That is to be determined at a later date as usual. I personally think (since this is a personal blog) that I was anticipating another beta drop or longer cycle to clear some of the items to get built in or fixed for the product.
The server core stays the same in 7.5 with a few added things and UI for web meetings. Most of the work is in the awesome Connect client. However, there is still management things to be done with this amount of capabilities.
