- 5. @panareima #ICONUK Reasons for migrating (going) into the Cloud 5 • Features features and features (Cloud first) • Managed storage • License costs • Availability • Performance • Connectivity
- 6. @panareima #ICONUK IBM Cloud solutions – good choice? 6 • Hell yeah! • IBM Cloud solutions / >7 billion $ 2014 • Amazon Cloud solutions / 4.6 billion $ 2014 • Microsoft Cloud solutions / 4.4 billion $ 2014
- 7. @panareima #ICONUK Choose SmartCloud Connections (Notes): Service Only or Hybrid 7 • Fundamental decision. You have to get it right the first time! • If you get it wrong you have to knock down and start over • If you have to start over you will very likely lose your data!
- 8. @panareima #ICONUK Differences between Service Only and Hybrid 8 • Service Only: – Your entire Email structure is in the Cloud including your Directory – All of your Administration is done in the Cloud via web interface – It’s all or nothing: When you move your MX-records your entire organization has to switch to Cloud all at once – Very limited options for customization – No knowledge about Notes/Domino Administration required to manage your users • Hybrid: – SmartCloud Notes becomes an extension of the on-premises Notes/Domino infrastructure – Administration of users is done both using Domino tools on-premises and the webinterface – You can put your users on Cloud over time at a pace that you set – You can migrate users email to the Cloud due to the integration with your on-premises servers – More options for customization
- 9. @panareima #ICONUK SmartCloud Notes Hybrid? yes, if ... 9 • … you want to migrate user email • … you want to move to Cloud in stages • … you want to keep some users on-premises • … you have Notes/Domino applications and will use them after the move to Cloud
- 10. @panareima #ICONUK Not sure yet? More things to consider ... 10 Service only Hybrid No existing Notes/Domino environment Yes Maybe Minimal/no Notes/Domino Admin skills Yes Maybe No Notes/Domino Applications on-premises Yes Maybe Need very minimal Administration capabilities Yes Maybe Can start with clean slate inboxes Yes Yes Can cutover all at once Yes Yes Have Notes/Domino Admins skills and require flexible env. No Yes Have Notes/Domino apps and want to maintain once move email to Cloud No Yes Want to keep existing user Ids No Yes Want to migrate existing email No Yes Require coexistence (Cloud and on-premises) No Yes
- 11. @panareima #ICONUK SmartCloud Notes Hybrid: What does it require? 11 • One (*) server with IBM Domino in a passthru role (Domino 8.5.2 or later) – This server does not perform any mail routing or replication – It doesn’t require any significant disk space and processing speed • One (*) Domino hub server for directory replication and mail routing (Domino 8.5.1FP2 or later) – that’s often an existing server • Notes/Domino infrastructure (Directory server, etc…) – Domino servers at appropriate (recent) versions (*) two recommended for redundancy Excellent White paper: Transitioning to IBM SmartCloud Notes http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=SA&subtype=WH&htmlfid=LOW14026USEN

- 13. @panareima #ICONUK Wait! Before moving to the Cloud, you might want to consider this … A marketing sidestep – Sorry, I‘ll hurry up as much as I can!
- 14. @panareima #ICONUK Going Cloud: Analyze first! panagenda iDNA: Instant and Ongoing Analytics 14 The future is now! – With business intelligence (BI) for email, applications, collaboration and communication. Your infrastructure holds a wealth of big and wide data that is waiting to work for you and your team. Here are a few of the most prominent topics where panagenda iDNA enables you to utilize it: • Optimize operations, planning and strategy • Measure actual usage and load, real-world billing • Make informed decisions for Cloud, modernization, mobile, migration and consolidation • Identify most and least used applications, e.g. by VIPs, sales, the business, certain geographies, client types • Across IBM Notes rich clients, IBM iNotes, browser clients, mobile devices, servers and applications More information: http://www.panagenda.com/solutions/business-intelligence/ Sample Report: http://www.panagenda.com/download/panagenda_iDNA_Report_Demo.html
- 15. @panareima #ICONUK Going cloud without knowing what you have today 15
- 16. @panareima #ICONUK panagenda iDNA: Database usage 16 The "bubble chart" shows how alive and used the environment is. Every bubble is a database and its color indicates the type, like mail or application. Small bubbles are used by few users, large bubbles by many. The X-axis shows read traffic, the Y- axis shows write traffic - so databases on the top right are have most network I/O while ones on the lower left are rarely used.
- 17. @panareima #ICONUK panagenda iDNA: Database sizes 17 See your databases' storage requirements categorized by size and database type, thereby offering immediate insight as to which types of databases consume the most disk space.
- 18. @panareima #ICONUK panagenda iDNA: Network traffic 18 Observed network traffic between clients and servers over time. This allows to identify regular and irregular peaks easily, for example. You can interact with this chart by zooming into selected time spans.
- 19. @panareima #ICONUK panagenda iDNA: Data volumes paired with geo-information 19 This demo visualizes optional iDNA functionality to further enrich collected data with HR data and/or geographical information. This facilitates a broad range of possible visualizations, such as displaying reports and charts as per region, country, city or department, as well as adapting content according to authorization in iDNA portal.
- 20. @panareima #ICONUK panagenda iDNA: Cloud and webification potential 20 This demo visualizes optional iDNA functionality to integrate Domino web log data. This enables various reports around web and mobile usage. This example shows what types of databases are used by rich clients only, both rich clients and browsers, or by web browsers only (desktop or mobile). Apps that are accessed from rich clients usually involve higher risks in e.g. Cloud and migration scenarios, compared to apps that are already usable via browsers.
- 21. @panareima #ICONUK panagenda iDNA: Mail Volume Analytics 21 This "bubble chart" shows how alive the email infrastructure is. Every bubble is a mail domain and their color indicate different Top-level domain names like .com, .de, .co.uk, etc. The bubble size indicates the amount of users who have been in contact with this mail domain. The X-axis shows number of received, the Y-axis shows number of sent messages - so with domains on the top right, lots of messages have been exchanged while ones on the lower left are rarely communicated with.
- 22. @panareima #ICONUK panagenda iDNA: Mail Volume Analytics 22 This bar chart displays email volume separated by number of recipients per mail. The X-axis shows number of recipients per sent message, the Y-axis shows percentage of total messages delivered to recipients. With that one can recognize how many internal and external recipients are addressed per sent message and which percentage each category is out of 100%.
- 23. @panareima #ICONUK panagenda iDNA: Mail Volume Analytics 23 This bar chart displays email volume by size of sent messages to internal and external recipients. The X- axis shows message sizes (1KB – 8GB), the Y-axis shows percentage of total delivered message volume. This gives a good overview of what message sizes are sent to internal and external recipients and what amount of traffic each message causes to a multiplied number of addressees.
- 24. @panareima #ICONUK We’re assuming “Hybrid” in this session. Let’s onboard user mailfiles and their local IBM Notes client installation!
- 25. @panareima #ICONUK Hybrid: Onboarding methods 25 • OPT (Onboarding Planning Tool) – Used to gather and fix potential problems in mail files at the start of the transfer process – Time spent fixing issues here can save lots of time and aggravation later • OTT (Onboarding Transition Tool) – Used to manage the transfer of “batches” of mail files to the IBM data center • To get access to OPT/OTT an IBM business partner needs to take classes and certifications • OPT / OTT has been developed to enable Partner led Cloud service provisioning with data transfer • IBM also delivers chargeable Cloud onboarding via Software Services for Collaboration (ISSC)
- 26. @panareima #ICONUK Hybrid: Onboarding methods 26 • MOM Tool (Mail Onboarding Manager) – moves your on-premises IBM Notes mail data to the cloud – provisions new or existing Connections Cloud accounts with SmartCloud Notes mail – creates a replica of your on-premises Domino directory in the tool locally – transfers mail files and assigns subscriptions – is organized into 5 pages, each of which provides information or capabilities that step through the onboarding process – controls when and how mail files are moved and accounts are provisioned – monitors the onboarding progress on the tool's Dashboard or the Detail view on the Staging page – can be used without the help of an IBM business partner More information: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPS94/hybrid/topics/onboard_intro_c.dita?lang=en

- 36. @panareima #ICONUK Hybrid: IBM Notes Client onboarding 36 • Client Configuration tool (config.nsf) – Checks for the following information (besides many other things – see more info link below) • The client is a version supported for IBM SmartCloud Notes access • The config.nsf file contains information needed to perform the configuration • The downloaded data is less than 24 hours old – Confirms that the user is logged in using the ID that they will use in the service. – Creates a wildcard Connection document that the client will use to connect to a mail server in the Cloud through the proxy server in the service. The server name in the Connection is */your_certifier, where your_certifier is the name of the OU certifier you provided for your mail servers during Cloud service configuration. – Creates a Location document called ‘SmartCloud for username’, or updates it if it already exists and is incorrect More information: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPS94/hybrid/topics/pln_hy_how_client_config_changes_client_c.dita?lang=en
