elastictime is a Lotus Foundations business partner
Friday 27th June, 2008elastictime has just signed up as a reseller for Lotus Foundations Server, the Nitix based autonomic appliance from IBM's newly acquired Net Integration subsidiary.
The Lotus Foundations site can be found at http://www.lotusfoundations.com which as others have pointed out is a rather odd URL for IBM/Lotus to choose.
As a company, we've been itching to put together a Domino appliance that just sits in the corner and does its job. This is it! Net Integration's Nitix operating system is a Linux variant with a high degree of autonomic computing built; enabling small businesses with little or no IT support to get access to a best of breed mail and apps environment , plus office file and print, firewall etc in a single box.
Net Integration have spent a great deal of effort making the box self reliant, down to automatic backups to hot-swappable disks.
The first product is Lotus Foundations Start, which is Nitix, Domino server, Lotus Symphony office suite, security and backup bundled together.
Pricing for the UK isn't fixed yet as far as I know, but expect it to be very competitive against Microsoft Small Business Server and new Enterprise Business Server. See Graham Dodge's Blog entry on comparison of Foundations, SBS and EBS for an idea of what to expect.
