Ziff Davis explains what Open-Xchange offers in this article.
Last week's release of Open-Xchange Server 5 will allow IT administrators to migrate systems to and integrate them with an open-source environment as well as create and implement applications without having to change their existing infrastructure components such as databases, directory services, message transfer agents, e-mail servers or Web servers.
Users can retain their preferred mail and groupware client, usually Microsoft Corp.'s Outlook but also open-source clients such as Kontact.
Open-Xchange Server, which is the engine behind Novell Inc.'s SuSE
Linux Openexchange Server, is a modular, standards-based communications tool featuring a WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) interface that speeds information flow between workstations and the server.
Open-Xchange is a collaboration platform that integrates open-source and proprietary servers and clients.
Accessible through a common Web browser, Open-Xchange allows users to share e-mail, calendars, tasks, threaded discussions and documents originating from both proprietary and open-source systems.
