Open-Xchange Joins Eclipse Foundation to Broaden Developer and User Community for Java-Based Collaboration Suite
Open-Xchange, an open source alternative to Microsoft Exchange, announced that it has joined the Eclipse Foundation, an open source community whose projects are focused on providing an extensible development platform and application frameworks for building software.
Open-Xchange offers email, calendar, contacts, tasks and document sharing, providing companies with the tools needed to facilitate communication and efficient teamwork. Users improve their communication and teamwork with tools and features, such as smart links between calendar appointments, task lists, contacts, documents, bookmarks and knowledge articles.
Open-Xchange provides highly scalable collaboration server components, installation and administration tools based on Eclipse.org Equinox, optimized for ISPs, hosters and telcos. Open-Xchange Server, with its fault tolerant design, self-healing abilities and serviceability without any downtime requirements, plus scalability and maintenance features, is suited for large-scale deployments for up to several millions of concurrent users.
Open-Xchange provides customers, hosted groupware functionality with enhanced capabilities at a fraction of the cost of competing products. With Open-Xchange’s AJAX frontend, users have access to all capabilities of Open-Xchange Server in SaaS (Software as a Service) offerings without requiring any local installation or maintenance. Open-Xchange is available for free download at open source portals such as sourceforge.net and freshmeat.net.
