Zimbra was initially developed by LiquidSys, which changed their name to Zimbra, Inc. on 26 July 2005.[2] The Zimbra Collaboration Suite was first released in 2005. The company was subsequently purchased by Yahoo! on September 17, 2007,[3] and later sold to VMware on January 12, 2010.[4] In July 2013, it was sold by VMware to Telligent Systems[5] which changed its name to Zimbra, Inc. in September 2013.[6] It was then acquired by Synacor on 18 August 2015.[7]
According to former Zimbra President and CTO Scott Dietzen, the name for Zimbra is derived from the song "I Zimbra" by Talking Heads.[8]
