Last week, IBM released an important technote...
System Admins may play with the memory usage of JVM, especially those dealing with limited memory issues. Moreover, as of release 8.5.2, JVM heap size will be decreased by default. It is better to have precautions before upgrade.
News about upcoming release 8.5.2 are becoming more clear. Last week, Lotus team shared some possible improvements about iNotes 8.5.2 in Open Mic event.
Of course, no need to remind that these improvements are in progress for development. They are not guaranteed yet.
I have blogged about social software before. It will be the third episode (!) of this series..
Since Lotus Connections and Quickr are very hot products in IBM Sales teams, I have read and seen too many presentations, reports or sales documents until now. Frankly, I found many of them useless. Because all vendors, including IBM try to sell social software products as 'yet another corporate software'. They think that it is a matter of 'believing or not' the wind of social software. I define this selling process in a very sarcastic way:
When I chat with Lotus Professionals around, I see that many are busy with their daily agendas. Most cannot concentrate on developing their expertise. I even know Lotus professionals working in large companies and dealing with non-Lotus systems, which seems abnormal to me.
We prefer using smart upgrade during our large deployments. I would like to summarize some issues with the mechanism in this little post. I would be happy if you also share your experiences.
On the latest blog, we have discussed whether the concept of Corporate Social Networking Software will spread or not. We have spotted few points: volatility of business habits, pragmatism of stakeholders and importance of management fashions. Now it is time to talk about how this concept has been evolved and what it is like.
Lotus Notes / Domino 8.5.2 was in managed-beta program since january. Last week, confidentiality has been lifted, which means beta users are now free to talk about improvements in new version.
Of course blogs are raining about new features. I wrapped-up some important features from bloggers:
Social Software , or Corporate Social Networking Software is a very trendy topic lately. Blogs , Micro-blogs , Wikis , etc. Although the topic is not mature enough to be printed at special pages of popular business media, the storm is coming.
Last week, Oskar, from IBM CEE Channel, shared this video of Project Vulcan:
Always saying that we will have disk space savings around 30% using DAOS. But in some specific cases, the feature causes remarkable extra disk usage.
About a month ago, we have implemented DAOS for a customer with 6-7 servers. Yesterday, we have been surprised analyzing some servers to see how much space gained by DAOS feature.
