Helping to protect the environment has been a key benefit of IBM® Lotus® Domino® software for many years. And it can help you reach for cost savings by minimizing the need for hardware oriented resources that can consume a fair portion of an IT budget - such as power consumption, memory, and data storage - as well as labor required for administrative tasks..
Compression features reduce the size of application data and design aspects on disk, help save both equipment and backup and recovery costs, server I/O consumption, and network bandwidth usage. Applications containing documents that include rich text and graphics images, and those containing lengthy documents can realize significant disk savings. Savings using compression capabilities are further compounded when clustering technology is used, as each replica can reduce the amount of disk space and energy spent on storing the data to disk and sending the data over the network.
Attachment proliferation can become a thing of the past with Lotus Domino software. Instead of allowing bulky attachments to be duplicated across sender lists and email threads, wasting valuable disk space, network bandwidth, and server I/O, the Domino attachment and object service (DAOS) instead stores only a single copy of an attachment on the server. Attachments are then managed by the Lotus Domino server, which refers to the same file from multiple applications on the same server. With DAOS enabled, disk space usage is substantially minimized and performance improvements can be recognized.
