Description
Bottom rule

Enabling companies to focus on business instead of IT, IBM Smart Business Software Pack for i on IBM Smart Cube includes essential software required to run your business with reliability, security, and simplicity -- an ideal server for businesses with up to 1,000 users and with limited budgets and IT resources.

Delivering the power of IBM Lotus Notes and Domino, and working as a complete small and medium business infrastructure solution, IBM Smart Business Software Pack delivers network security, firewall, Web, remote access, file and print and directory services, e-mail, collaboration, and office productivity tools.

Features:

The IBM Smart Business Software Pack for i includes the following software solutions:

  • E-mail and calendaring. Powered by IBM Lotus Domino, you can access your e-mail and calendars using IBM Lotus Notes and IBM Lotus Domino Web Access client applications.
  • Collaboration. Lotus Sametime® Entry combines robust, secure instant messaging with a rich set of chat features and a friendly user interface. Know when your colleagues are available and reach out to them instantly.
  • User management, enabling you to create new LDAP users on the IBM Smart Business Software and authorize them to use preloaded applications such as e-mail and calendaring, and collaboration.
  • User directory. Powered by IBM Lotus Domino LDAP, this directory stores information for each user on the IBM Smart Business system using the user management capabilities. Enables you to manage users for your applications with one interface -- no need to go into each application to add, delete, or change users.
  • Web and application serving, including DokuWiki, enabling you to quickly create internal Web sites.
  • The Smart Report delivers to customers customized information about the historical and current condition of their Smart Cube. It also contains information for tips, techniques, and recommendations from other Smart Business customers.

Benefits:

  • Complete solution: Run your business on a reliable and security-rich server tuned especially for small to medium-sized businesses.

    When ordered together, IBM Power Systems are preloaded with IBM Smart Business Software Pack for i, together with the IBM i operating system, resulting in a complete business solution delivered to your door. This helps to ensure a quick and seamless start-up using the Setup Wizard.

  • IBM Smart Business Application Integrator: Select from a range of business applications that are integrated to IBM's new Application Integrator, giving your business the edge it needs to grow and expand.

    IBM Smart Business Software Pack for i includes Application Integrator, which can be leveraged by software vendors to deliver integrated applications with new levels of manageability and support to small business solutions.

    Application Integrator has an open management and integration run time.

    • Run time: Part of IBM Smart Business Software Pack for i, enabling higher-level functions.
    • Management and integration: Addresses an integrated manner of performing systems management functions (and in the future, beyond systems management).
    • Open architecture: Behavior is guided by the use of the APIs and wizards, made available in the IBM Smart Business Developers' kit.
  • Problem determination and solution support: Take the pain out of problem resolution. Business applications are regularly monitored to see that they are working correctly. If they encounter any problems, detailed problem determination searches for the cause and solution to the problems. The new features of problem determination complemented with client self-assist facilities and information are further extended with a single point of contact for all components of the total solution. You get electronic problem submission to a support center that is skilled in isolating problems and returning timely answers.
  • Acquisition cost: Get essential software in one highly affordable package. This solution is designed to reduce overall expenses by packaging all of the necessary hardware and software a small/medium business requires.
  • Ease of use: Help save time and costs with a unique self-managing and self-configuring server. Setup, configuration, and management of a Smart Business system are easier than many other solutions.

    The Nortel Software Communications System (SCS) 500 Unified Communications Solution for IBM Systems offers a robust communications platform that can deliver an easy, unified solution for mature VoIP, messaging, conferencing, and collaboration services.

Terms and conditions
Bottom rule

The information provided in this announcement letter is for reference and convenience purposes only. The terms and conditions that govern any transaction with IBM are contained in the applicable contract documents such as the IBM International Program License Agreement, IBM International Passport Advantage Agreement, and the IBM Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance.

This product is only available via Passport Advantage. It is not available as shrinkwrap.

Licensing

IBM International Program License Agreement including the License Information document and Proof of Entitlement (PoE) govern your use of the program. PoEs are required for all authorized use. Part number products only, offered outside of Passport Advantage, where applicable, are license only and do not include Software Maintenance.

This software license includes Software Subscription and Support.

These programs are licensed under the IBM Program License Agreement (IPLA) and support with ongoing access to releases and versions of the program is provided under the International Passport Advantage Agreement. IBM includes one year of Software Subscription and Support with the initial license acquisition of each program acquired. The initial period of Software Subscription and Support can be extended by the purchase of a renewal option, if available. These programs have a one-time license charge for use of the program and an annual renewable charge for the enhanced support that includes telephone assistance (voice support for defects during normal business hours), as well as access to updates, releases, and versions of the program as long as support is in effect.

License Information form number

The License Information Document is L-LHIH-7JLFQW.

The program's License Information will be available for review on the IBM Software License Agreement Web site

Yes

Limited warranty

IBM warrants that when the program is used in the specified operating environment, it will conform to its specifications. The warranty applies only to the unmodified portion of the program. IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the program or that IBM will correct all program defects. You are responsible for the results obtained from the use of the program.

IBM provides you with access to IBM databases containing information on known program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses at no additional charge. For further information, consult the IBM Software Support Handbook found at

http://www.ibm.com/support/handbook

IBM will maintain this information for at least one year after the original licensee acquires the program (warranty period).

Money-back guarantee

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program and you are the original licensee, you may obtain a refund of the amount you paid for it, if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.

For clarification, note that (1) for programs acquired under the IBM International Passport Advantage offering, this term applies only to your first acquisition of the program and (2) for programs acquired under any of IBM's On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD) software offerings, this term does not apply since these offerings apply to programs already acquired and in use by you.

IBM Electronic Services
Bottom rule

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.

The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.

The Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
