The old domain had 38 Domino servers (Mail, Application and Web servers) across the UK and Rep. of Ireland in various domains and locations. This infrastructure was consolidated to two sites (due to clustering) in Dublin. The new Infrastructure involved one Administration server cluster (two servers), one Hub server cluster (two servers), four Mail server clusters (two servers each) and one Application server cluster (four servers). This new domain was more efficient, reliable and cost-effective.

Upgrade, Transformation, Consolidation and Migration of 18,000 Users (Mail and Application)
