+Lotus Notes [ref], popular database sharing and colloboration tool, has some 
+similarities to Storm. In both systems, for instance, data is identified by 
+using GUIDs. However, partly because of the long age of the system, Lotus 
Notes 
+is limited to client-server architecture, where as Storm exploits peer-to-peer 
+architecture. Groove [ref] is a improved design of Lotus Notes, which employs 
+strong security mechanisms and uses peer-to-peer as basis of communication
