Hi Cloud Users! Microsoft Exchange 2010 is one of the most widely used enterprise email server applications in Indonesia. IT Departments currently responsible for managing Exchange 2010 are facing a major challenge. In just a few months, in January 2020, Exchange 2010 will officially hit EOL or “End Of Life,” and Microsoft will discontinue all support services for it.<\/p>

This information has been officially released on Microsoft’s website, which you can visit via the following link:<\/p>

Generally, after this information is released, people believe they only have two options: upgrading to Exchange 2016 or migrating to Office 365. However, both options can be extremely expensive. Furthermore, any company that takes corporate and customer data protection seriously might feel uncomfortable moving all their emails to a foreign company with servers located outside Indonesia (the nearest Office 365 data center is in Singapore, as it is unavailable in Indonesia).<\/p>

Fortunately, we have good news and another excellent email server solution for your company! Aside from the two options mentioned above, you can also opt for Zimbra Email. Large enterprises, SMEs, government agencies, universities, and various other organizations worldwide have been using Zimbra for their email servers. By using Zimbra Email, the total cost of ownership is significantly lower, and it offers better features compared to Exchange. For instance, the Government of India uses Zimbra for over 1 million users.<\/p>

Zimbra is a Synacor product, formerly owned by VMware. Therefore, its credibility and reliability are beyond doubt.<\/p>

Many organizations and companies use Outlook as their email client and open it as soon as they arrive at the office. This has become a deeply rooted work culture in Indonesia. Zimbra\u2019s user-friendly interface allows users to access it via a web browser, providing an experience very similar to using Gmail.<\/p>

However, for users who are already accustomed to Outlook, Zimbra features MAPI, which allows seamless integration with Outlook for email and collaboration, delivering the exact same functionality as an Exchange server. This makes the transition from Exchange to Zimbra highly intuitive for end-users, ensuring no significant disruption to their daily email workflow.<\/p>

A primary concern for IT departments when migrating to a new system is the migration process itself. With Zimbra, the migration process is highly straightforward, utilizing available tools and handled by professionals to migrate content from the Exchange Online server to Zimbra. For migrations involving tens of thousands of users or more, the process typically takes just a single weekend. Additionally, Zimbra\u2019s integration with Active Directory \/ LDAP, which includes automated provisioning, serves as an extra feature to make the migration and management process as seamless as possible.<\/p>

At Cloudmatika, we offer a wide range of Zimbra options tailored to the needs of all types of large enterprises. We provide Zimbra Software as a Service (SaaS), which is fully hosted and works similarly to Office 365, featuring a subscription model priced per mailbox. To highlight the cost difference: our Zimbra service starts from just IDR 10,000\/mailbox\/month, whereas Office 365 or Exchange Online starts from IDR 50,000\/mailbox\/month. For companies that prefer a private deployment, we provide a fully managed Zimbra server\/cluster handled by our team for a small monthly fee, eliminating any need for upfront investment or CAPEX.<\/p>
