Multiple Customers on 1 ZCS instance

[davecaplan]

Hello!

My company is considering using ZCS to provide e-mail capabilities to our clients. We're considering a few other solutions, and before I go to far I just wanted to know a few things.

Is it possible to co-located multiple different customers on a single ZCS installation on a single server? Their accounts and mailboxes would need to be fully separated from each other, so Company A with 5 employees couldn't see Company B with 100 employees.

If this is possible, are you able to brand each customer "instance" seperately?

Thx,

Dave Caplan

yes you can do this in zimbra as default setup..every domain/user information is seprate.
you can host 1000's of domains on zimbra as senprate domains. both OSS version and NE version will let you do that.
BUT..with OSS version you cannot give your customer control over thier domainas DELEGATED DOMAIN ADMIN dont exist in OSS (free) version..for that you will need NE version.
