Real-Time Collaboration and Mobility Seminar - Toronto Day 1 end and Day 2
Tags :Sametime
The plug-in session moved along well. Everyone is still waiting for IBM to give some good samples it seems. No representative here said they were developing their own. I think people will get moving whenever the Plug-in Catalog opens and there are trials, freeware and paid choices. I know there is the iscoord softphone out there and the obligatory IBM samples.
People were very interested about the future of the RTC Gateway and how it will fit into most enterprise deployments once again. Looking at some of the IBM webpages and info with them proved beneficial for discussions.
Dinner was back at East, a Thai/Chinese/Pan-Asian restaurant I enjoyed last time here.
We spent this morning building the infrastructure with eager eyes to see architectural diagrams, sample deployments and suggestions. Questions were flowing in this session around mux deployments, clustering and load balancing. We jumped into configuring and deploying the client and the areas they have to manually control as Lotus policies haven't jumped to that point. If you weigh what you control as the administrator versus what the user can do, they win at this point.
Since Sametime 7.5 went live with mobile (see my postings last week here and here) the live demo went over well. The viewer used for the Blackberry is a bit slow, but n-way chat, business cards, status, emoticons and chat history (yes on the device) was well received. Everyone there was bound for Blackberry and not Windows Mobile at this time.
