Taipei, Taiwan—July 18, 2012—Synology® Inc. today introduced the Zarafa® package, an email and calendaring collaboration solution for DiskStation and RackStation users, which can be accessed through a web interface from multi-platform systems and supported mobile devices.
As the top drop-in replacement for MS Exchange with Outlook® and mobile compatibility, Zarafa's email web client features an elegant and intuitive groupware solution that includes an advanced permission system that allows users to share mailboxes with colleagues, a calendar that enables users to send meeting requests to co-workers or book resources, access of contacts in a global address book, and a task list that can be shared with peers for more effective teamwork. SMB users are assured of full compatibility by the UTF-8 (Unicode) support and Zarafa's mobile calendar push technology for all supported ActiveSync® devices, including iPhone® and Android™ based phones.
“The cooperation between Synology and Zarafa, one of the leading European providers of open source groupware and collaboration software, provides a cost-effective yet easy-to-use groupware server to small and medium businesses.” said Wayne An, product manager of Synology Inc.
Synology DiskStation and RackStation offer an intuitive development toolkit for web developers, and continue to attract mature and sophisticated industry leaders such as Zarafa, as more developers recognize its value and benefit from sharing their solutions on a Synology NAS server.
