    Zimbra brings hundreds of millions of free and paying users in 135+ countries, adds new customers to Synacor's roster including 2500+ small business customers and 900+ government customers, and adds a network of 1000+ value added resellers and 500+ hosting partners. Synacor plans to continue the open source version of Zimbra and plans on providing technical support for Zimbra's Open Source Edition (OSE) through its VAR partners around the world.
