Domino – the reliable 24/7 groupware server

HCLs (former IBMs) groupware package offers a built in web server.
The server component is commonly referred to as HCL Domino.

This part of the software communicates with your installed

  • HCL Notes Client using the NRPC protocol over tcp port 1352 fully encrypted and/or
  • Web browser using the https protocol over tcp port 443

HCL as a owner of Domino is really interested in improving the user experience. HCL Nomad is the newest addition to the portfolio. You can now run all Notes applications natively on iPhone, iPad and Android devices. As of version 12, Nomad is now also available as a native web client. Meanwhile version 14.5 is being tested in an early access program (EAP) and of course version 14 is widely deployed as of today.

A common use these days is to have your mobile device (iPhone, iPad, Android) connected to the server part. The server task running on the Domino server is called Traveler.

Domino servers can be easily clustered. High availability is built into it due to its replication features. One server goes down, your clients fail over to another cluster member. If you use managed replica settings, your users won’t even notice.
