DESCRIPTION

This is a tip from t"CUST106: IBM Notes Goes Cloud: How GAD Created an Integrated Pure Browser-based Workspace " from IBM Connect 2014. In this tip, speakers Sonja Wessels, GAD eg, and Rajesh Patil, IBM cover how GAD took their IBM Domino environment to the cloud, including the infrastructure before and after the move. It also covers how they addressed the integration of "unknown" applications that had been developed or purchased by their customers.

GAD’s IBM Domino goes Cloud Initial position for changing the Domino environment

Facts and figures* – 1,600 Domino servers for the customers in more than 1,000 locations – 425 Domino domains (one for each customer)

– 200 Domino servers for GAD and technical backend in GAD’s data center – 50 Domino domains

– 65,000 Domino users

– 40 terabyte of Domino data

• 10% of applications are deployed from GAD • 90% of applications are self developed or not purchased from GAD

* rounded values from 2009

GAD’s IBM Domino goes Cloud Our way to a Domino-Cloud - A new standardized Domino server

Creating a new standardized Domino server

– one Domino server on one Microsoft® Windows® entity

– virtualization of Microsoft Windows entities with Hyper-V®

– newest Domino version with XPages Extension Library

– automated installation of the server with • Microsoft Windows • IBM Domino • archiving software • monitoring software • and many more

GAD’s IBM Domino goes Cloud Our way to a Domino-Cloud – A new centralized Domino architecture

Creating a new architecture for Domino – one Domino domain for each customer with

• two Domino servers for GAD applications and mail files (required) • up to 16 Domino servers for non-GAD applications (optional)

Standardization and automation – automated Domino server configuration

• automated deployment tool for Domino applications • one application to configure every Domino server with one “click”

- server and configuration documents, policies, program and connection documents

• automated deployment of Domino groups and technical users • administrative tool for customer’s administrator to configure persons and groups only

Integration of “unknown” Domino applications

16

Integration of “unknown” Domino Applications What are “unknown” Domino applications?

Non-GAD applications in former Domino environment – customers developed these applications or – customers purchased these applications from the market – around 30,000 databases based upon 10,000 different templates

The problems with these applications: – we do not know what these applications do – we do not have access to them – we do not know whether they are web-enabled or not – we do not know anything about their interfaces,

agents, scripts, UI … web-enabling in a factory is impossible!

17

Integration of “unknown” Domino Applications Possible Solutions

Local Notes Clients – no use of GAD application’s web-interface – leaving browser context – no integration to non-domino applications – the need of fat clients

Notes Clients on Citrix® – no use of GAD application’s web-interface – leaving browser context – no integration to non-domino applications – a very large server farm is needed

Integration of “unknown” Domino Applications Our Solution

IBM Notes Browser Plug-in for non-GAD applications

Integration of NBP into our “ApplicationStarter”

Use of panagenda® MarvelClient® to configure the NBP and to roam user’s personal data

From our “ApplicationStarter” – GAD applications are started as web applications

(https://-URL) – non-GAD applications are started as Notes applications

(notes://-URL) – login to our “ApplicationStarter” defines the Notes-user – MarvelClient-Roaming depends on the user logged-in

User can login to “their” Notes on every workstation (OS-User independent)
