Mixed-mode connector licensing

[turnbulm]

Hi,

We're currently evaluating Zimbra as one of a number of possible solutions, where we will need to provide two distinctly different classes of service to users. One CoS will have full Outlook integration, the second will have a standard web-based interface for the collaboration suite.

Now, I know Zimbra can do both of these, and one solution would be to have two Zimbra servers (one O/S and the other Network)... HOWEVER... we have to be able to share calendars, etc, between the two. There are going to be a number of different domains hosted in the solution, and any particular domain will contain a mix of Outlook and Web based users.

Is this type of mixed-mode installation possible with Zimbra?

(The reason we want to keep with the Open Source version for Web users is purely to do with price. We can't justify paying $28pa for every user when less than 5% of them are going to use the enhanced functionality. Unfortunately those 5% are influential enough users that if we can't meet their needs then they will veto the solution.)

Thanks!

Matt.

Matt, This is something that has been covered on the forums in length. You can search to get the details but in short it's not a combination we offer today. If you still feel this is something you *must* have please contact sales - sales@zimbra.com they'll be able to look at your particular situation and potential mailboxes and try to help you out.

Here's one other thread on the topic.
