2 Description IBM Lotus Instant Messaging and (Sametime) V6.5.1 is IBM s worldwide market leading real-time collaboration offering. Over 10 million people use it every day to gain access and share information, virtually bring together geographically dispersed team members, enabling them to make faster decisions. Built from its very beginning to be a tool for e-business, Lotus Instant Messaging and is an extremely robust and manageable offering with security features. IBM Lotus Instant Messaging and is based on three simple, yet powerful, concepts: 1. Presence awareness. Seeing, in advance, whether a person, or application, is available. 2. Conversation. The exchange of text-based information (generally known as instant messaging ) as well as audio/video. 3. Object sharing. Desktop and application sharing and whiteboarding, generally known as Web conferencing. Key features: Authentication and access control. Authenticate users when they log on. Protect Web conferences with a password and limit access to only the individuals who receive invitations. Instant messaging gateway. Support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) for the Lotus Instant Messaging Gateway. Permit the secure exchange of real-time information with users based on their addresses, increasing reach to the extended value chain. Scalability. Enable hundreds of people to view the same presentation or Web application or to engage in a whiteboard session. Link multiple servers to increase scalability and reduce traffic across WANs. As an option, optimize Web conference load balancing and fail-over with Lotus EMS software. Security, privacy, and chat logging. Take advantage of security features. Set instant messaging preferences to prevent or discourage interruptions. Encrypt Web conference content and data to restrict meeting content to authorized viewers only. Save instant messaging conversations to a text file to view at a later time. And, with APIs, build server-based chat logging solutions that may be useful in responding to certain regulatory requirements. Directory support. Use existing directories like IBM Lotus Domino or any Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory to control exactly who can access the environment. Create and manage each directory on the fly. Proxy support and firewalls. From the network s demilitarized zone (DMZ), let external users access the server without compromising network security. HTTP tunneling on port 80 enables clients with restrictive firewalls, operating in corporate networks, to connect to a server over the Internet. Client-side support for proxies includes HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5. Server management. Use the browser-based interface to set up new users, administer security and access privileges, monitor activity levels, and analyze usage trends. Easily broadcast messages with security in or across your entire network.
