[trapanator]

1. 8
2. EMEA (Italy)
3. Ubuntu (soon SLES10)
4. Important
5. Yes, for support
6. Painless upgrade from a version of Zimbra to another

[seedaumas]

1. How many users do you have on your Zimbra server? 100 in 5 servers
2. Region? EUROPE
3. OS? Debian Etch (my server); ubuntu lts
4. How important is support? Not Important
5. Would you consider licensing Zimbra Network Edition instead? No

[dijichi2]

For me personally, not necessary - I rsync to another box and take periodic snapshots. If I want granular backup I buy the NE. Ditto for the outlook connector.

How about mobile support for opensource version? I think loooooooots of people would pay for that

[easytouch]

1. 500
2. EMEA
3. Ubuntu
4. Not Important
5. No
6. 300 USD one time fee, but unlimited servers, because of EC2 Desaster REcovery Procedures and scaling.

[Kristaps]

1. 100
2. Europe
3. SLES10 (soon Ubuntu)

FEDORA 7

4. How important is support? Very Important/Important/Not Important


NONE as Community solves almost all problems


5. Would you consider licensing Zimbra Network Edition instead? Yes/No

NO To expensive there should be a "low cost permetual" version for custumers with less then 5 mailboxes

6. Any questions, comments, suggestions

Easy to use Full hot backup is needed !

6. I would not pay too much (maybe $100 one-off fee) since I can also live with a few minutes of downtime per day. I have a script that shuts down Zimbra, then Dirvish checks for any changes (which just takes a few minutes for the whole server with gigabytes of data), and finally Zimbra starts up again. Should this ever grow to too much downtime, there should still be other free possibilities (working with snapshots should lead to just seconds of downtime).

Same here.

I add domain admins : if we add domain admins, I'd be able to get rid of my old qmail/vpopmails servers (300 users) and migrate everybody to Zimbra OSS.

And once they've tried OSS, it'll be much easier to get them to NE 8)

[gbr]

1. 11-24
2. Americas
3. Ubuntu
4. The forums are excellent, so support is not an issue. It would be nice to have per incident fees for major items/hand holding support
5. If I could get a single user NE license for myself, and keep FOSS for my users, that would be great
6. The backup module fee is a great idea. Now, if you could do that for sync/mobile support as well...

I usually do a cold backup but a hot backup would be nice for $100.
