DAOS for Notes and Domino 8.5 

About this course

One of the most significant features introduced for the Domino 8.5 server is DAOS: Domino Attachment and Object Service. As the name suggests, this optional feature gives administrators the ability to consolidate the storage of attachments. As a result, the DAOS functionality is sometimes described as ″attachment consolidation.″

DAOS has two primary benefits:

1. Reducing the disk space consumed when attachments are posted to multiple documents and databases on the same Domino server.
2. Reducing the time (I/O) needed to route mail and to perform other server tasks that are impacted by database size (such as compacting).

In this module, you will learn to use and troubleshoot DAOS.
