DAOS: Transparent, transparent, transparent - and easy!
Tags: Domino DAOS Lotusphere
Here at Lotusphere are a many sessions about the new Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS). I didn't had that much time before Lotusphere to check it out but there were some sessions about it on my schedule.
And after hearing and reading something about it, I decided during a session to activate it on one of our small Domino servers. And because this feature is so powerful and at the same time so easy to implement, I also decided to share some informations about it.
At first the question when thinking about new features is, what they will do for you? Will they be worth the time you need to implement them? For DAOS you can test this with the new DAOS Estimator Tool you can download from IBM's website. This tool analyzes your data files and you can directly see what improvments DAOS will bring for you. In my case my total disk space savings are 18% and my Domino Data Directory shrinks 64%. That is huge, I think.
And the best is, that implementation isn't really complicated. IBM provides a Quick Start Guide in the Lotus Wiki.
And to come back to the headline, the good thing about DAOS is that it's cmpletley transparent. You just won't recognize while your daily work, if DAOS is activated or not.
So, have a look and give it a try!
