released code from its NetMail server as part of its Hula collaboration server effort, and other organizations, such as Scalix Corp. Zimbra is not the first company to take a shot at open-source collaboration products. Pricing for the Zimbra Network was not announced. In the coming weeks, Zimbra plans to launch a service called the Zimbra Network, which will include product support and other services, according to Wednesday's announcement. Google Inc.'s Gmail service has used AJAX technologies to incorporate advanced features such as spell checking and search without becoming slow and clunky, and Zimbra is now trying to apply some of those same techniques to its own software, O'Grady said. "This is a space that's really crying out for innovation," he said. The most widely used enterprise messaging products have not always worked well with Web browser clients, because they were designed for client-server rather than Web-based networks, O'Grady said.
By using them in its collaboration product, Zimbra hopes to develop full-featured, easy-to-use messaging software that can be accessed using any Web browser, said Stephen O'Grady, a senior analyst with RedMonk LLC who has been briefed by Zimbra. In addition to Zimbra's own code, the suite employs a number of open source products, including the MySQL database and the Apache Software Foundation's Lucerne indexing software.ĪJAX is a group of Internet technologies designed to give Web browsing a smoother, more dynamic feel. The suite includes an AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and Extensible Markup Language) client, as well as server software. company bills the software as an open-source alternative to enterprise collaboration products such as IBM Lotus Notes or Microsoft's Exchange Server.Ĭalled the Zimbra Collaboration Suite, the software includes e-mail, contact and calendar software, according to an announcement posted Wednesday on Zimbra's Web site.
Zimbra., the open-source startup that lured Scott Dietzen away from his former job as chief technology officer of BEA Systems, has released a beta version of its enterprise collaboration software.
