Several months ago we announced a Plesk integration for Open-Xchange. Back then the integration was done with a command line script, which unfortunately didn’t simplify the administrator’s life enough to make it really easy to sell Open-Xchange. Additionally, the licensing terms for Open-Xchange were not too flexible to allow small Plesk based businesses to sell it.

With 4PSA OXtender for Plesk, all these issues are solved, because:

– It comes with a new, fixed monthly price per Parallels Plesk server (no additional licensing fees for the Open-Xchange server).
– Easy installation and setup (each Plesk server can be added to OX in less than 5 minutes)
– To add OX webmail or groupware to a Plesk mail account, you only have to click a button in the Plesk interface.
– The OX webmail is free for all users. You can replace Horde with a webmail having personal address book, calendar and tasks.
– You can upgrade any account to groupware. There are two levels for the groupware: standard (private and public address book, InfoStore, calendar, teams, subscriptions) and premium (all standard features plus mobility).
– You can allow your resellers to access the OXtender features in Plesk, by setting a permission.
– All users that can access OXtender have the possibility to download reports regarding the number of accounts on each level (webmail, groupware standard, groupware premium).
– We provide support for the OXtender / Open-Xchange setup.

OXtender is available for Plesk 9.0.1 and upper versions, running on Unix/Linux. If you are interested to get it for Plesk running under Microsoft Windows, please add a comment to this post. It would be interesting to ask you questions here, as we can follow-up with another blog article.

You can see here some screenshots and there is also a demo available on our demo server.
