![]() Beyond a quick set up, the Zimbra Appliance provides administrative tools for self-service, auto update, security policy control and the ability to remotely wipe a mobile device wipe. Administrative innovations from companies like and Successfactors have made it easier to deploy, manage and update applications that provide web-based administration tools and a complete software stack (application, operating system and update tools).Īs part of offering a collaboration cloud as a complete software bundle, administrators are able to deploy the Zimbra Appliance in under 10 minutes. Additionally, we continue our support for legacy email clients (Microsoft Outlook) and a wide range of mobile devices (iPhone, Android and BlackBerry).Īdministrators’ requirements have also changed and now require a simpler application stack that is easier to deploy, manage and update. Ted Schadler at Forrester recently wrote about this need to empower users.īased on these needs and core to the Zimbra Appliance is our support for Zimbra Desktop, an offline cache of the user’s collaboration cloud, and our browser-based support for desktop, touchpad and mobile browsers. Additionally, users want to be able to share information with co-workers, partners and other external users. The collaboration cloud is a hub for communications: regardless of device, the user has the context he needs to make decisions - like what flights to take, which purchase orders to accept/reject, or what information should be synced with the CRM system. These applications need to be available using traditional desktop clients and via the browser. Users want applications to be available on any device, anywhere and anytime. Here is a summary of market drivers influencing the launch of Zimbra Appliance: Whether it is the simplicity of the Amazon Kindle, the open platform of Facebook or the cross platform support of Twitter, users and administrators expect applications to be easier to use and deliver than ever before. The call for simplicity reflects changes in the overall IT landscape driven by the evolution of user, administrator and datacenter requirements – many of these inspired by events in the consumer market. We have spent the last 5 months speaking with VMware and Zimbra customers and re-affirming their need for a simplified collaboration software stack that embraces the IT Platform of the future. The Zimbra Appliance is our first major step post acquisition to integrate Zimbra and VMware products and provide a simplified IT experience for administrators and their users. And today, we are excited to announce the launch of the Zimbra Appliance.
