Iocom improves scalability

Iocom today announced the availability of federated server architecture for its Unified Collaboration Server (UCS), says Marketwatch.

Iocom's federated architecture enables UCS to achieve the scale of peer-to-peer solutions, such as Skype, while maintaining the administrative control required for global enterprise and service provider solutions.

REI Systems will assist an IBM team in modernising the enterprise architecture for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) under a six-year subcontract, reports WashingtonTechnology.

Fema awarded IBM the $915 million contract for the Enterprise Applications Development, Integration and Sustainment programme, which will consolidate and integrate Fema's IT systems and applications.

The contract is part of the homeland security department's Enterprise Applications Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions programme.

IBM has introduced a family of products for archiving e-mail, classifying content and searching multiple information sources, independent of where and how the content was created, processed and archived, reports IBtimes.

IBM Content Collection and Archiving products are designed to help clients unlock the business value of their content, while enforcing regulatory compliance and operational policies.

The new offerings extend compliance beyond e-mail archiving and integrate with enterprise content management solutions to help reduce the total cost of ownership.
