An IBM Lotus Sametime Advanced installation has many server-side components, and building a Sametime Advanced environment isn’t a trivial task. Discover best practices for installing each application layer, saving you time and effort. Plus, download a sample log file output from a successful installation of WebSphere Event Broker.

IBM Lotus Sametime Advanced 8.0.x extends Sametime Standard’s infrastructure and features, making it easy for end users to find information and share expertise. If your company has decided to implement Sametime Advanced, you probably know that building the server environment can be time-consuming due to the multiple components that form a Sametime Advanced environment.

Based on our experience with customers and time in the lab, we’ll show you our methods for efficiently building a Sametime Advanced environment. Guarantee a successful deployment, avoid extra work, and save time by knowing our best practices for installing each application layer.
This article builds on our previous one, “Best Practices for Planning a Sametime Advanced Deployment” (THE VIEW, March 2009). We highly recommend reading our earlier article and planning out your Sametime Advanced deployment before installing the various servers.
