Zimbra Desktop 2.0 Debuts With Offline Functionality And Twitter, Facebook Integration
TechCrunchIT, Leena Rao, October 12, 2010
Zimbra, the email and collaboration software that was sold by Yahoo
to VMware earlier this year, is debuting the newest version of its
SaaS-based email client today. Zimbra 2.0 includes desktop
functionality, designed to give users offline access to their email,
contacts, calendar and document management features in one place. You
can also download Zimbra’s Zimlets, which are apps that create mash-ups
of data from third party sources, to the desktop app. |

Zimbra is marking its full integration with VMware in the form of a

VMware packs Zimbra into virtual appliance
The Register, Timothy Prickett Morgan, August 10, 2010
The main reason why VMware took open source core groupware software
maker Zimbra off the hands of Yahoo back in January was to have yet one
more piece of code to sell to SMB customers and hosting companies
adopting its vSphere server virtualization stack. Today, a virtual
appliance version of the Zimbra email, calendaring, and collaboration is
available as a standalone offering. |

5 Free and Open-Source Software Alternatives for Small Businesses
Mashable, Jolie O'Dell, June 17, 2010
If you’re part of a small business, chances are you’re always

don’t realize is that they can get all the software they need to run a
business — quite literally all of it in most cases — 100% free of
charge. That includes operating systems, word processing programs,
accounting software, email servers, graphic design programs and more. |

Can VMware put a dent in Microsoft Exchange?
Infoworld, Eric Knorr, 8/10/2010
I was always a fan of Zimbra, an email solution that combined an
open source mail server with a wildly innovative, browser-based client
that has all the features of a collaborative document management system.
Zimbra, which has a client that can run offline, treats email as the
hub of the user's worklife -- and throws in all sorts of XML goodies,
including little Zimlet widgets for lightweight integration with other
systems… With today's announcement of a Zimbra Collaboration Suite
Appliance, VMware might have a bona fide Exchange killer on its hands. |

VMware Zimbra Offers Business a Microsoft Exchange Alternative
Channel Insider, Jessica Davis, 8/10/2010
Zimbra is taking its email, messaging and collaboration suite
embedded appliance to VMware’s channel organization – effectively
growing from just 1,000 channel partners to 25,000 overnight. The move
follows VMware’s acquisition of the corporate cloud email and
collaboration vendor from Yahoo earlier this year, and poses an even
more serious threat to entrenched players such as Microsoft with its
Exchange email and collaboration. Zimbra is a direct competitor to
Microsoft’s Exchange email and collaboration technology as well as to
cloud-based email and collaboration services such as Google Apps and
Zoho.

VMware Takes Zimbra to the Cloud
internet.com, Amy Newman, 8/18/2010
When VMware announced its intent to purchase Zimbra from Yahoo back
in January there was some concern Zimbra might be "going from one
company that had no idea what to do with it to another." And that seemed
to be the last anyone heard from the open source collaboration company.
Until Tuesday, when VMware announced Zimbra's assimilation into its new
parent company is now complete. This means VMware's sales team now
sells Zimbra and vice versa; VMware's Global Support Services support
Zimbra customers; Zimbra fully supports VMware; and VMware customers and
partners have full access to Zimbra’s email and collaboration product
suite, Zimbra General Manager Jim Morisroe told ServerWatch. |

Zimbra Customers Applaud VMware Acquisition
IDG, Juan Carlos Perez, 01/15/2010
Zimbra customers, on an emotional roller-coaster ride since it was
acquired by Yahoo, welcome VMware's plans to buy the open-source e-mail,
calendar and collaboration software vendor. Many of them were vexed
when Yahoo snapped up Zimbra for US$350 million in September 2007,
concerned that the Zimbra suite might wilt and disappear due to Yahoo's
inexperience in the enterprise software market. |

VMware Takes On Microsoft With Zimbra
The Street, James Rogers, 01/12/2010
VMware's deal with Yahoo! to acquire email specialist Zimbra looks
set to boost the virtualization giant's cloud story, while ramping up
competition with arch-rival Microsoft. Previously an independent
division within Yahoo!, Zimbra makes email and collaboration software
that will now be built into VMware's vSphere cloud technology. An
alternative to Microsoft's SharePoint and IBM's Lotus Notes, Zimbra's
open source software is already used in more than 55 million mailboxes. |

Zimbra Desktop Brings Webmail to the Desktop
Appscout, Alan Henry, 04/30/2009
One of the great things about Webmail is that you can access it
anywhere you have an Internet connection. And one of the great things
about a desktop e-mail client is that you can view multiple e-mail
accounts and addresses in the same interface, and easily manage a
calendar, tasks, and other tools in the same app. |
