I am pleased to announce that one of the papers I have authored “Deploying a scalable IBM Lotus Sametime 8.5.1 environment for small-to-medium businesses” has finally been released to IBM developerWorks. Any organizationwhich is interested in hardware minimization or stacking certain components together should definitely read this paper. One of the main focal points is stacking multiple nodes on the same physical host. While the information is not covered in the Sametime Information Center, such a configuration does allow organizations to both scale the environment and add on redundancy as needed.
