Lotus Domino 7 performance benchmark data
September 20 2005
Now available on lotus.com, a ten
page paper highlighting the performance improvements in Domino 7.
NotesBench numbers as well as data from IBM's internal deployment
of Domino 7 are included.
In general, performance/scalability is one of the key reasons to upgrade
to Domino 7. As you'll see in this paper, performance on the exact
same hardware is increased anywhere from 50% to 400%, depending on operating
system. This is for an in-line, in-place upgrade -- no need to change
a single aspect of the environment. CPU utiliziation is reduced as
well, typically 20% to 30%. Very good investment protection in your
existing server hardware, and good reasons for server consolidation.
Even if customers can't carry out server consolidations for whatever reason(s), then the improvements should increase the longevity of the hardware. It may even be that hardware thought unsuitable for Domino servers could how come back into play to host Domino on Linux. All adds up to a lower TCO. Spread the word.
