Synacor, Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNC), the trusted
multiscreen technology, and monetization partner for video,
internet and communications providers, device manufacturers and
enterprises, today announced the launch of Zimbra Open Source
Support, a new global program for its 400+ million Zimbra open
source-based email and collaboration software users. In addition,
the company announced the availability of new add-on features in
Zimbra Suite Plus including mobile sync, backup, storage and admin
tools. These initiatives address the escalating marketplace demand

revenue opportunities for both Synacor and the global Zimbra

Zimbra Open Source Support, for on-premise deployment of Zimbra
Open Source Edition (OSE), and Zimbra Suite Plus are available only
via authorized and certified Zimbra VARs. Add-on features included

Zextras, and are available for both Zimbra Open Source Edition
(OSE) and Zimbra Network Edition (NE) customers.
“The Open Source Support and Suite Plus Program demonstrate our
continuing commitment to the Zimbra Open Source community, and also
represent an exciting new opportunity for Synacor and our
Partners,” said Himesh Bhise, CEO of Synacor.
“This is the biggest move we’ve made in Open Source in a long
time,” said Brent Rhymes, EVP Channel Sales & Marketing at
Synacor (and formerly President of Zimbra). “Zimbra’s eagerly
anticipated Open Source Support and Zimbra Suite Plus are now
available to the worldwide Zimbra Open Source community. We’ve
blown the doors wide open for Zimbra channel partners to
participate in the vast open source market. Qualified Zimbra
Partners can expect new revenue opportunities, preferred pricing,
and a growing list of customers. Loyal users of Zimbra’s Open
Source Edition can now rely upon expert tech support, increased
security and privacy, and features they’ve been clamoring for.”
“As a long standing Zimbra Gold Partner, XMission is very happy
to see Synacor delivering on promises made when acquiring Zimbra.
We are excited to expand our reach into the massive Open Source
community with official options for Zimbra Open Source Support
along with Zimbra’s suite of four new add-on tools,” said John
Webster, Vice President, Product – Email and Collaboration at
XMission. “Synacor is on-point in creating a thriving ecosystem
around the proven Zimbra email and collaboration
platform. This give partners like XMission access to a larger
customer base, increased revenue opportunities, and differentiates
our Zimbra offering in the marketplace.”
“As a leading developer delivering Zimbra Extensions to millions
of Zimbra Open Source users, Zextras is thrilled to partner with
Synacor to make Zimbra Backup Plus, Zimbra Admin Plus, Zimbra HSM
Plus, and Zimbra Mobile Plus available to both Open Source and
