Thousands of organizations woke up Sunday morning to the new features of Zimbra 7.1.1 after zMailCloud’s upgrade during scheduled maintenance Saturday night into Sunday morning.

“This was our smoothest major upgrade ever,” said Dan Stone, zMailCloud Sales Manager, “the credit goes to our experienced support team.”  The zMailCloud support team has more combined years experience with Zimbra than any organization outside of Zimbra/VMware itself.

In August zMailCloud will finish migration to its new cloud infrastructure, delivering even more performance, resilience and reliability.  Read more... (468 words and 1 image, estimated 1:52 mins reading time)

        

[Updated Thursday, May 26th to reflect rescheduling due to enhancements and fixes available in the software upgrade release expected shortly.]

On Saturday, June 18th between 10:00PM and 4:00AM CDT (GMT-5), we plan to upgrade the zMailCloud, formerly known as the 01.com Zimbra Cloud.  We will be performing a material upgrade at this time, taking the environment from version 6.0.12 to the latest tested version of Zimbra 7.1.1.

During this upgrade process, zMailCloud customers will be unable to log in to their accounts.  As usual, we will post a message to http://status.01.com when the maintenance starts, and when it is finished.  It is possible we may delay the upgrade again by a week or more, based on the results of continued pre-upgrade testing.  Read more...

Cementing a strategic partnership [not an acquisition], today it’s my pleasure to welcome the distinguished CRM solutions provider and Zimbra Gold Partner DataSync, and its hosted Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS) customers to 01.com.  We expect this partnership to benefit us all.

To DataSync’s Zimbra hosting customers: I thank you for your patience during a challenging migration, and hope each of you also finds a silver-lining.  As the CTO of one DataSync customer said to me yesterday by phone, “it gave us the opportunity to test 01.com support, who was with us the whole way, and delivered an exceptionally positive support experience.”  And if not today, we will demonstrate the benefits of this new partnership for you promptly.  Read more...
