Worldwide, there are currently more active mailboxes on Sun Java
Communications Suite than its two closest competitors combined. Sun Java
Communications Suite is two orders of magnitude more scalable than other
products and is the first major messaging and collaboration platform to
include a Web 2.0 client. Communications Suite and Java Enterprise system are
the premier Web 2.0 and J2EE application development platform.
Migration is the key enabler for hosted e-mail and messaging, calendaring
and collaboration SaaS. Using the GSS Migration Toolkit service providers can
now move business customers from on-premise Lotus Notes and Domino servers to
SaaS offerings using Sun Java Communications Suite.
Using the GSS Migration Toolkit, enterprises and service providers can
move e-mail, directory, calendar and other information from Notes and Domino
to Sun Java Communications Suite. "We are introducing the GSS Migration
Toolkit to enable the disruptive shift from on-premise servers and distributed
systems to SaaS and highly centralized systems," said Ron Herardian, Chief
Systems Architect at GSS.
For enterprises, switching to Sun Java Communications Suite has many
benefits such as far lower total cost of ownership (TCO), vastly superior
scalability, radical consolidation, and access to the latest Web 2.0
technology in the Sun Convergence client.
Together with Sun ISV offerings, Sun Java Communications Suite can meet
the most demanding enterprise and requirements. Customers switching to Sun
Java Communications Suite can continue using Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook
or switch to open source clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird with the
Lightning group calendaring add-on.
"Communication Suite 6 offers web, desktop and mobile access for
enterprise users, all with a lower total cost of ownership. Sun ISVs like GSS
that enable customers to migrate are a key part of our strategy," said Mayank
Choudhary, Group Manager, Marketing Collaboration Products at Sun
Microsystems.
The GSS Migration Toolkit works with all international language versions
of Lotus Notes and Domino including double-byte languages such as Chinese and
Japanese, supports Mozilla Thunderbird clients, and works with all platform
versions of Sun Java Communications Suite including Solaris SPARC and x86 and
Linux.
