Zentyal Server aims at offering small and medium businesses (SMBs) a native drop-in replacement for Windows Small Business Server and Microsoft Exchange Server which can be set up in less than 30 minutes and is both easy to use and affordable.
This is a compilation of all the latest Zentyal packages as well as the last system updates from Ubuntu. The installer comes with a new Zentyal Cloud-based "Disaster Recovery" feature. This option allows users with a free Basic Server Subscription to automatically install the modules from a previously stored configuration backup, and also to restore the configuration itself. Another major change in the installer is the switch from slim to LXDM as the display manager to avoid crashes of the graphic environment on some systems.
This release is based on the Ubuntu 10.4 LTS distribution, and this implies a major change in all the server components. Important usability, performance, and stability improvements have taken place, automatic configuration wizards have been introduced, and the configuration backed of Zentyal has been changed from gconf to redis. Among other new features, bridge mode and an FTP module are included. This version also features a new Zarafa module for a groupware solution.
The DHCP and HTTP proxy modules have been improved
to take advantage
of the Ajax framework. Two new reporting pages
have been added to the
system status, a page to show disk usage
information and one for showing
RAID status.
