Clustering is no extra cost anymore since the new express licensing became effective with the release of Domino 8.5.3

Also: Why do you want to spend extra money on Windows, when Domino and Fileserveing can be done much cheaper by using Linux on your server?

sorry for delay reply,
Hearty thankful to you for your valuable reply,
as per your area...(i guess Serves) I will ask abt the server only (hardware & software)...for rest as advised.. I will open new question
Do you mean:
As per your suggestion...
there will be 3 physical server including:-
1. TS = (physical Server # 1)
2. VMWare FS/DC/MS/SQL/BTS) = (physical Server # 2)
3. VMWare FS/DC/MS/SQL/BTS) = (physical Server # 3)
Lotus Domino is okay...kindly brief how if we put two server on different locations(for mails + TS access)...since its a need accordingly for to our setup
Kindly suggest :
* Levels of redundancy -- offsite DR
* x86 v/s x64 (why we should go for x64); ( hardware+software) for which we should go...meaning all (vSphere 5/lotus/SQL/TS/Thinclient)
* alternate way to access iNotes from webbrowser from terminal server users?
Pls advice / suggest if you have any other ways to host all servers with minimum physical servers using vsphere?

Its not :-)
So management wants you to spend more on backups, hardware, support, and get less results.
Excellent illustration of the Dilbert Principle.
Good luck.
