Happy New Year from the Cloudiance team!
4 Key Announcements:
• Zimbra 10 upgrade. In 2025 we completed the upgrade from Zimbra 9 to Zimbra 10.1+. All customers, across all hosting environments have received the upgrade to Zimbra 10.1+. Please see below for an overview of some of its new features.
• Portal upgrades. We have upgraded the Cloudiance Admin Portal, so you may add, and delete domains and domain aliases directly, as well as manage all your mailboxes, and login to them.
• Integrating Reputation Management. This year we're planning on adding an upgraded Reputation Management service to all mailboxes, to better protect against malicious use of your mailboxes to send spam. When we introduce this service for all mailboxes, we intend to do so at no additional cost (formerly $2/mailbox/month). Among planned features, we expect you will be able to use the advanced anti-spam and virus service (ASAV) to view a log of all outbound emails from your domain, and improved detection, and stoppage of compromised mailboxes.
• Price change as of 1/1/26, so that we can support new security features we're planning on introducing this year, as well as the continued rising cost of software licensing, and hosting at top-tier data centers (Google & Amazon), we're adding $2 to the cost of each mailbox, and archive. If you'd like a pricing overview, you may always find it publicly available on our website: https://www.cloudiance.com/pricing
