Zitat aus dem "Overview":
This highly scalable and secure solution is strictly based on a client/server architecture. The server part of the groupware solution, herein referred to as Kolab Server runs on GNU/Linux, namely on a current distribution of Debian, Red Hat or SuSE. We minimized the usage of Linux distribution dependencies in order to gain maximal portability. In order to be able to apply readily available security updates in a timely manner employment of a well-maintained GNU/Linux distribution like the above mentioned seems desirable. The goal is that standard security updates as provided by these vendors can be installed without affecting the Kolab server functionality.
The free software groupware client application will be developed as a native KDE 3 application. Microsoft Windows NT 4 or Windows 2000 based clients access the Kolab groupware server using Microsoft Outlook 2000 with the Bynari Insight Connector Plugin 1.09 installed (reference platform).
A high-level description of the complete free software groupware solution seen from the user's point of view follows. The list was created with existing proprietary groupware products in mind, namely Microsoft Exchange Server with Outlook 2000 clients.
