Groupware platform
Operate OX App Suite with the appropriate edition and supported upgrade path.
WZ-IT designs groupware platforms with OX App Suite, integrates mail, identity and storage services and can provide ongoing technical operations.
Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
The following are trademarks of their respective owners: OX App Suite (Open-Xchange GmbH). WZ-IT is an independent service provider and has no business, partnership, or contractual relationship with these companies. We offer independent migration, installation, hosting, and operations services.
A production OX environment consists of more than its web interface. Mail servers, databases, file storage, search, identities, DNS and deliverability must work together.
We assess user numbers, the existing mail infrastructure, domains, migration sources and integrations to develop a robust target architecture.
OX App Suite is available through different commercial operating and licensing models. Functions and usage rights depend on the agreed vendor package.
Vendor licences are quoted separately. We therefore offer OX App Suite after a technical and commercial assessment.
Web interface, mail, calendars, contacts, files, search, DNS and identity must be designed and monitored together.
Operate OX App Suite with the appropriate edition and supported upgrade path.
Back up mailboxes, databases, files and indexes completely.
Connect directories, domains, SMTP, IMAP and other services.
Coordinate monitoring, DNS, certificates, spam protection and recovery.
The exact scope depends on mail servers, vendor package and existing services and is clearly defined in the proposal.
| Area | Responsibility | Scope and boundaries |
|---|---|---|
| OX App Suite platform | WZ-IT | Installation, configuration, monitoring and controlled updates. |
| Backups and restore | WZ-IT | Back up agreed databases, files and configurations. |
| Mail server and deliverability | Shared | WZ-IT operates agreed components; domains and external reputation are managed together. |
| Migration | Shared | We plan test migration and cutover; the customer validates accounts, data and retention. |
| Accounts and communication rules | Customer | The customer owns user approval, content and organisational policies. |
| Office and custom integration | Optional WZ-IT service | Online office, archiving and business systems are integrated separately. |
Provide email, calendars, contacts, tasks and files through a shared web interface.
Configure shared calendars, invitations and resources for the organisation and its permissions.
Connect users, groups and login paths to existing directories and identity services.
Design TLS, DNS, spam and malware protection, deliverability and administrative access as part of the platform.
Move mailboxes, calendars, contacts and domains from existing systems in a controlled process.
Add file storage, online office and other business services through supported integrations.
Assess existing data and configuration, migrate them in a test run and move to managed operations through a controlled cutover.
Secure SSO, roles, administrative paths and external access for the application and existing infrastructure.
Back up all stateful components consistently and document the recovery path for the agreed scope.
Monitor and update the application and its technical dependencies and operate them under the agreed service level.
A clearly defined operating scope instead of an opaque hosting flat fee.
We set up a test instance for you, usually on the next business day. No payment details required. After seven days it is deleted unless you continue.
We combine the right compute size with ongoing operations, backups, monitoring and a service level appropriate for the criticality of OX App Suite. High availability and recovery targets are designed separately where needed.
We also design custom hosting architectures, integrations and migrations around OX App Suite. Contact us for a technical assessment.
One managed standard OX App Suite application is included in the Starter workload. Business and higher levels add a flexible operations allowance for planned work during regular service hours. Select compute, additional applications, storage and the appropriate service level.
A workload is one compute instance with the applications agreed for it.
One standard app per workload is already included. Additional dedicated servers count as separate workloads.
€79.90 per started TB and month, including daily encrypted offsite backup with 7-day retention.

Briefly describe the current state and objective for OX App Suite. We assess infrastructure, integration, and ongoing operations.
Mailbox size, concurrent users, calendars, search, file storage and mail flow determine resources and architecture.
| Usage scenario | Technical starting point | Key factors |
|---|---|---|
| Small team | Groupware assessment | Users, domains, mailbox sizes and existing mail servers are assessed. |
| Multiple departments | Platform sizing | Databases, search, file storage and concurrency are designed. |
| Large mail migration | Migration assessment | Source, volume, coexistence and cutover are tested. |
| Critical communications platform | HA and recovery concept | Availability, delivery and recovery are agreed explicitly. |
Vendor licence, mail components, migration and target architecture are reviewed before a binding proposal.
The environment is selected based on vendor licence, mail architecture, data location and existing services.
Dedicated stack on European infrastructure after vendor and architecture review.
Operate in your account with existing network and mail services.
Install in your data centre close to directories and mail servers.
Separate placement of groupware, mail flow, identity and archiving.
OX App Suite uses multiple backend services. Data paths and responsibilities are documented explicitly.
Web, mobile devices and connected mail or calendar clients.
Web access, mail protocols, rate limits and administrative paths.
Users, groups, domains and optional central authentication.
Email, calendars, contacts, tasks and files in one interface.
SMTP, IMAP, delivery and other communication components.
State, indexes and groupware metadata.
Attachments, files, configuration and secured copies.
Features and permitted deployment depend on the agreed OX edition and vendor contract.
Answers about licensing, mail, migration and deployment location.
Edition, vendor licence, mail server, users, migration and integrations vary significantly and are reviewed first.
Yes. We assess source, volume, domains, calendars and contacts and plan test migration, coexistence and cutover.
That can form part of the proposal. The exact scope for SMTP, IMAP, spam protection, DNS and deliverability is defined explicitly.
Depending on available edition and licensing model, an on-premises architecture can be designed and operated by WZ-IT.
That depends on the selected package and connected services. Required vendor licences and additional components are quoted separately.
As an alternative to managed hosting in the data centre, WZ-IT provides the hardware, configures OX App Suite, and handles hardening, monitoring, updates, backup and technical support. Access can be limited to the internal network or enabled through VPN and existing identities.
