Ease of Use
To stay focused on your business, you can’t afford spending time trying to manage your IT systems. The more complex your IT systems are, the more they can cost you in time, effort, and money to try to maintain. Lotus Foundations Start makes IT simple.
Lotus Foundations Start is a self-governing system that automates many critical tasks and provides proactive system checks, so no in-house IT staff is necessary. With self-configuring, self-managing, self-protecting, and self-healing features, your hands are off while the system automates configuration, adjusts itself according to workload demands, anticipates and defends against security breaches, and detects, diagnoses, and repairs potential issues.
Enterprise Level Messaging & Collaboration at SMB Pricing
IBM Lotus Foundations Server provides you with all of the features larger enterprises benefit from with the Lotus Notes & Domino messaging and calendaring platform. Leverage the collaboration capabilities of Notes and Domino without the enterprise price ticket!
Safeguard Your Business Information
Lotus Foundations Start includes a low-touch backup facility that enables you to confidently make backup copies of your information:
- No fuss, no worries – anyone can manage backups
- Continuous, automated, unattended
- Frequent incremental backups can be scheduled as often as every 15 minutes
- No tapes, no wires, no cables
- No maintenance, cleaning, or administration
Eliminating the perils of tape backup, Lotus Foundations Start's backup technology uses industry-standard hard disk drives for backup media. The speed and capacity of the media is the same as a hard disk drive, which enables automatic performance of continuous, unadministered incremental data backups, as often as every 15 minutes, helping to minimize the potential for a company to lose data.
Hands-Off Protection
Lotus Foundations Start has a built-in firewall that is completely automatic — so your whole network is protected, without having to worry about configuring any special options.
Pre-Emptive Defense
Lotus Foundations Start includes robust anti-virus and anti-spam protection, helping safeguard both your business network and email from malicious threats that could seriously harm your network. The solutions reside on the server, not on users' personal computers. As a result, threats can be stopped before ever reaching individual users on the network.
Stay Connected
Lotus Foundations Start includes VPN technology that enables you to connect your central office to one or more branch offices, and to work remotely by connecting a personal computer to the VPN. This security-enhanced remote access to your business’ network allows you to work where and when you want, while helping to prevent unauthorized users from getting into your network.
