Mahesh Bank leverages VMware Zimbra Collaboration Suite

Solution offers email, calendar and integrated unified communications to meet business needs

A.P. Mahesh Co-operative Urban Bank has deployed the VMware Zimbra Collaboration Suite to take advantage of an enterprise-
class email, calendar and collaboration solution. With 39 branches across the country, the Hyderabad-based A.P. Mahesh Co-
operative Urban Bank Ltd. is a premier co-operative financial institution with diversified banking products. With growing complexity
and limited support, administering multiple mail servers for the banks branches was a challenge.
We have been successfully using VMware products that have helped us improve the performance and scalability of our IT
environment, which has in turn enabled our business with the flexibility and agility we require in the banking sector, said Umesh
Asawa, Managing Director & CEO, A.P. Mahesh Bank. As our operations grew, we were looking for a solution that could help us
address the challenges we were facing with our existing mail environment and evaluated many options before deploying VMware
Zimbra. The move to the Zimbra platform has helped us save on capital and operational expenses without compromising
functionality, he added.
A.P. Mahesh Bank deployed VMware Zimbra Collaboration Suite, an enterprise-class email, calendar and collaboration solution
to replace its existing messaging solution that was growing complex to manage. The business-critical solution has also been
deployed on VMware vSphere, the industry-leading virtualization and cloud infrastructure platform that can deliver high
availability, disaster recovery and backup for the solution, helping protect it against hardware disruptions. Helping AP Mahesh
Bank transition to the VMware Zimbra platform has been a very rewarding experience for us. Zimbra Collaboration Suites
advanced features, browser-based interface and open source integration can help organizations significantly reduce costs and
drive collaboration and productivity amongst employees, said Pravin Mohite, CEO of Olive Solutions (I) Pvt. Ltd., a Hyderabad-
based VMware partner that led the deployment at A.P. Mahesh Bank.
Were witnessing a fundamental shift in the way people work, and in turn a new set of demands that are put on IT infrastructure
and applications like email and integration communications, said Vinod Krishnan, Director Advanced Technologies, VMware
India & SAARC. VMware Zimbra is designed to help end users more efficient by connecting them with their data while providing
IT departments a simple way to manage the transition to a public or private cloud and help deliver the benefits promised by
the post-PC era. Zimbra offers all organizations, from enterprise companies to small businesses, a clear path for moving
messaging and collaboration to the cloud, while delivering the advanced features and enterprise functionality that users demand.
Built on the power of VMwares virtualization and cloud expertise, Zimbra can be deployed in a private cloud as a virtual appliance
or hosted in the public cloud, making it easy for IT to deploy, manage and scale at significantly lower costs compared to other
solutions.
Features like web client interface, open source integration, easy administration and built-in anti-spam and antivirus protection
make Zimbra simple and easy to use. Customers in India have the option of deploying Zimbra either in their own datacenter or via
a VMware vCloudpartner who can host the application as a service.
