Upgrade from 6.5

Hi list,

I’m thinking about to upgrade from domino server r6.5 to r7 or r8. But I’m a bit confused about which will be the best one.

Some people told me about the lower performance in r8 than r7.

Features in r8. New mail. etc…

someone could tell me some reasons to choose one or other.

Thanks a lot.

Domino 8 significantly out-performs R7. Unless you have a compelling reason not to go to R8 (e.g. you’ve spent a year testing for R7 and haven’t tested for R8 yet), then you’d be better off going to 8.0.1.

Here’s some data to get you started.

If you are still not sure after reading up on the subject you may want to talk to a local IBM business parnter or IBM rep and seek advice.
