vmware vs zimbra...need help!!

[awaisagha]

hi respected people
i am a long time and satisfied user of vmware workstation.its been a complete suite for everything.i prefer it more than virtual box and other such competitor products.
recently i was checking alternative for MS outlook and i got zimbra desktop client,and when i went into its details,i found zimbra also has virtualisation programs,and i found it is also under vmware.
i just want to know what is difference between vmware workstation and zimbra virtualization, and which one is better.
i would highly appreciate your info.

You're misunderstanding what (you call) Zimbra-Virtualization actually is, it's not a competitor to VMWare Workstation. You can find details of the Zimbra products here: Email, Calendar, Collaboration | Find Zimbra Products

Maybe he didnt understand that totally thats why he ask?

@aiwa

Zimbra Desktop = Email/Zimbra Client for Workstations
Zimbra Virtual Appliance = Server Product for VM Ware Hypervisor
Nayother Zimbra thing = Server Product

What maybe confused you is that Zimbra is now owend by VM ware - but this product has nothing todo with virtualisation - not directly - the appliance is jsut one way to run this thing among lot of others
