Groove is a distributed system based on peer-to-peer (P2P) design concepts. It uses popular technologies like COM and XML, encryption, and a wide variety of network protocols. To work with Groove, customers download and install the software package that includes a user interface and sophisticated built-in networking capability. The developers of Groove formerly worked on the Lotus Notes groupware system and applied their learnings from that project to create a tool that should appeal to a broad audience.
