ECG007.0897 WHITE PAPER (cont.) 3... A MESSAGE FROM PAUL SMART, VICE PRESIDENT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, COLLABORATION SERVICES The tests that Compaq performed in the Novell Superlab clearly demonstrate the overall scalability that GroupWise, IntraNetWare and Compaq servers can offer. The SuperLab is unique in that it provides a testing environment for 1000+ machines. The testing is much more realistic with no simulation of connected users or desktops. The combination of IntraNetWare, GroupWise and Compaq servers delivers a level of performance, scalability and reliablity that will help customers realize the highest Return on Investment. OBJECTIVE One objective of this Compaq White Paper is to provide information to assist current customers running Novell GroupWise R5.2 for IntranetWare on Compaq servers in optimally configuring their server(s) to achieve the highest possible performance from their hardware and software. Information is also provided that will assist customers in making configuration upgrade decisions that may be based on an anticipated return in performance gains. Another objective is to provide information to assist future customers in selecting the appropriate server hardware configuration for their operating environment. Data provided illustrates performance and system utilization that can be expected for various processor types, server memory quantities, and disk subsystem choices. Customers may use this data to determine which price-for-performance configuration would best suit their business needs. GROUPWISE ARCHITECTURE GroupWise offers expanded E-mail and Integration with Internet/intranet technologies. If you can use E-mail or a browser, you can use GroupWise. The Internet has changed the face of business communications. While E-mail is fine for sending messages back and forth, in today's marketplace-where survival often depends on your ability to collaborate and share information-E-mail isn't enough. In order to work effectively, you need the tools to send and retrieve messages, access shared documents, store voice-mail messages and make appointments. Just as important, you need a tool that lets you get the information you need when and where you need it. With expanded Internet capabilities and an elegant, easy-to-use interface, GroupWise 5.2 is that tool. The following figure depicts the GroupWise 5.2 Architecture.
