Introduction to enterprise Email Services

Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is an email and calendar server plus much more; think about it like a next-generation Microsoft Exchange server. In addition to email and calendar, it provides document storage and editing, instant messaging, and simplified administrative controls all in an award winning webmail user interface built with the latest AJAX web technology. Zimbra also provides mobility and syncs to desktop client applications; the server is deployed on commodity Linux and Mac server hardware offering high availability.

Zimbra Email and Collaboration Benefits

Every organization has access to basic email or a standard email server, but fewer have shared calendars- and fewer still mobility or document management. That’s a serious loss of potential productivity- and often legacy platforms contribute to this imbalance by presenting complexity and financial obstacles relegating most organizations to limited functionality.

Next-generation email and collaboration platforms offer solutions to these and many other common pain points by providing innovative features for end-users and IT administrators at lower total cost-of-ownership (TCO).

All versions of ZCS offer a complete email, contact, calendar and document management suite including the open source edition that is offered by Guru-host. Zimbra’s innovative AJAX experience puts Windows, Mac and Linux end-users at complete feature parity while is based on highly scalable open source technology and provides simplified administration tools.

Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) 6.0 is a truly modern, innovative messaging and collaboration application. Zimbra is the leading open source solution for enterprise, service provider, education, and government environments; offering administrators and their end-users unmatched benefits. It's no wonder Zimbra is a popular choice for today's growing Mac and Linux email server base.

Ajax based web collaboration is at the heart of ZCS 6.0. The powerful web client integrates email, contacts, shared calendar, VoIP, and online document authoring into a rich browser-based interface. Also, our unique open source Zimlet technology makes it easy for you to include custom 'mash-ups' in the ZCS web client.

ZCS 6.0 also includes an elegant Ajax based Admin Interface plus full scripting tools to manage the ZCS server. Full support is provided for standards-based APIs (IMAP / POP / iCal / CalDAV) as well as MAPI and iSync, which enable seamless compatibility with other clients like Microsoft Outlook, Apple desktop suite, and Mozilla Thunderbird.

Zimbra also offers Zimbra Mobile, which provides over-the-air "push" synchronization to smartphones as well as a Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

The Zimbra solution also has a complete high security package including built-in anti-spam and anti-virus scanning.

Now Zimbra also features Archiving and Discovery, an optional component to save and search email for various compliance issues.
