It also includes support for Lotus Domino partitioning (running more than one instance of Lotus Domino on the same machine using one copy of the Lotus Domino code). IBM Lotus Domino server software offers support for custom intranet and Internet applications. The applications may be developed in-house using IBM Lotus Domino Designer® or acquired from an Independent Software Vendor.

This capability lets you balance server loads and take advantage of automatic failover. The IBM Lotus Communications CEO bundle also provides you with your choice of clients.

IPLA and subscription and support considerations IPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but not limited to an enterprise. You may aggregate the capacity for all the processors the product is operated on to achieve a more economic price. This will result in a single Proof of Entitlement (PoE). It is your responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the entitlement of the product license. Subscription and Support must cover the same capacity as the product license entitlement. Subscription and Support will be available in the country in which the agreement is made.
