The Zarafa Collaboration Platform (ZCP) combines the usability of Microsoft Outlook and Exchange with the stability and flexibility of a Linux server. It features a rich web-interface, the Zarafa WebAccess, and provides brilliant integration options with all sorts of clients including all most popular mobile platforms. Most components of ZCP are open source, licensed under the AGPLv3, can therefore be downloaded freely with ZCP’s Community Edition.
Several closed source components exist, most notably:
the Zarafa Windows Client providing Outlook integration,
the Zarafa BES Integration providing Blackberry Enterprise Server connectivity,
the Zarafa ADS Plugin providing Active Directory integration, and
the Zarafa Backup Tools.
These components, together with several advanced features for large setups and hosters, are only available in combination with a support agreement as part of ZCP’s Commercial Editions.
Alternatively there is a wide selection of hosted ZCP offerings available.
