With IBM Lotus Foundations
Start 1.1, you have the ability to run not only Linux applications, but any application
that runs on Windows. Support for VMware Server 2.0 will be provided
in Lotus Foundations
Start 1.1 and Lotus Foundations
Branch Office 1.1 so that you can protect your existing appliance investment
with an experience that is superior to running applications on a native Windows machine.
You benefit from the stability of a Linux-based system while enjoying the
ability to support the wide array of Microsoft Windows-based applications.
Running Microsoft Windows applications on a virtual machine
represents a significant improvement over traditional Microsoft Windows based
x86 platforms.
Lotus Foundations
Start 1.1 provides additional language support for Russian, Polish, Greek,
Czech, Hungarian, Portuguese, and Turkish.
Many enterprises have small teams in remote offices and don't have the
same IT resources to manage those environments. These remote offices still
require comprehensive infrastructure and collaboration solutions to stay connected
to the central office, and more importantly, cost effective solutions so they
can stay in business.
IBM Lotus Foundations
Start 1.1 supports distributed deployment of Lotus Foundations Start services in multiple
locations. This means that Lotus Foundations Start deployments in two locations
can be aware of each other and be able to share data and users between them. Lotus Domino is
not a prerequisite for this offering.
IBM Lotus Foundations
Branch Office 1.0 supports deployment of Lotus Foundations Start as a branch office
solution for organizations with existing Lotus Domino infrastructure at the head office.
You can leverage the Lotus Domino skills and data that already exist in the organization
and extend to a remote branch office deployment. Administration of the Domino server
within the branch office can be done following existing processes, and using
existing Domino administration
tools. An existing Lotus Domino environment is a prerequisite for this offering.

IPLA and Subscription and Support considerations
IPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but
not limited to an enterprise. You may aggregate the capacity for all the processors
the product is operated on to achieve a more economic price. This will result
in a single Proof of Entitlement (PoE). It is your responsibility to manage
the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the entitlement of the
product license.
Subscription and Support must cover the same capacity as the product license
entitlement. Subscription and Support will be available in the country in
which the agreement is made.

Server
Server is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. A server
is a computer system that executes requested procedures, commands, or applications
to one or more user or client devices. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be
obtained for each server regardless of the number of processor cores or partitions
in the server on which the program runs or each server managed by the program.
Where blade technology is employed, each blade is considered a separate server.
Authorized User
Authorized User is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed.
An Authorized User is an individual (named or unnamed) within or outside of
your enterprise. The program may be installed on one or more computers or
servers and accessed by the number of users authorized by the PoE. You must
have an entitlement for each Authorized User accessing the program or any
program component in any manner directly or indirectly (for example, via a
multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means.

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.
