Dies wesentlichste Neuerung ist die schon von einigen sehnlichst erwartete Hochverfügbarkeits-Option. Das bedeutet, dass die Benutzer ungestört weiter arbeiten können, selbst wenn ein Traveler-Server (aus einem Pool von mehreren) ungeplant ausfällt. Der Hochverfügbarkeits-Dienst kann dabei über eine neue web-basierte Oberfläche administriert werden.
Darüber hinaus gibt es gerade für die Android-Plattform viele Verbesserungen, wie eine Monatsansicht des Kalenders, bessere Ausnutzung des Platzes auf Tablet-Geräten, neue Sicherheitsrichtlinien usw.

Beschreibung in der IBM-Ankündigung:
IBM Lotus Notes Traveler helps power your social business by providing access to email, calendar, and contacts from your mobile device. With Lotus Notes Traveler, you can extend collaboration to your mobile employees and keep them connected with people and information from any location, and with broad support of mobile smartphones and tablets.
The addition of the high availability support ensures that the IBM Lotus Notes Traveler service is available and uninterrupted at all times for end users who have become highly dependent on access to their latest mail, calendar, and contact data from their mobile devices. You can now easily transform your existing or new Lotus Notes Traveler infrastructure into one that is highly available. This is done by

IBM Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1 lets you establish a pool of servers to support a high availability service. You can include a load balancer to send data requests to Lotus Notes Traveler and a relational database to monitor the status of the servers in the pool, so you have an environment that can be configured and load balanced to intelligently failover to the best candidate server in the pool if a server outage occurs.
You can decide on the number of servers in the pool based on the number of users in your organization and the desired level of server redundancy for managing failover conditions. For example, a single Lotus Notes Traveler server plus a server to failover to would be a minimum pool configuration that a company might utilize. As your needs grow, you can easily scale up from there.
Along with the high availability service comes a new web-based administration interface. Now all of the administrative tasks can be carried out through this web-based interface that the administrators can access. All of servers in the pool can be administered from this single point. User roles with varying degrees of access rights can also be assigned to the administrators and help desk personnel.
With this update, the Android users get the addition of calendar month view, a new layout and look for the mail user interface on the tablet, which displays the Inbox list and content of selected mail in a single view, plus security enhancements that allow administrators to prevent, by policy, the detachment of attachments (making them read-only), copy and paste, and camera use on Android.

You can now easily transform your existing or new Lotus Notes Traveler infrastructure into one that is highly available. This is done by
- 1) establishing a pool of Lotus Notes Traveler servers to comprise the server group for failover actions,
- 2) upgrading these servers to Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1 Upgrade Pack 1,
- 3) including an IP sprayer to send data requests to the Lotus Notes Traveler server pool, and
- 4) adding a relational database to be used by the Traveler server pool.

Additional enhancements
- Mail and calendar functions on the Android platform including the calendar month view and a new layout and split screen look for the mail user interface that is optimized for tablets.
- Security enhancements for Android such as policies to enforce application level password and advanced attachment handling to prevent attachments from being detached to the file system on the device and making them accessible for read-only use.
