What's New

Announcing Zimbra Video Server GA

Deprecation of Zimbra Server on Ubuntu 14.04, Oracle Linux 6 and CentOS/RHEL 6

With a number of supported operating systems entering the end of life, Zimbra will deprecate all Zimbra versions for Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS 6, Redhat 6 and Oracle 6 as of July 31, 2021. At this date, there will no longer be any patch release for 8.8.15 and 9.0.0 on these operating systems.

  • Ubuntu 14.04 end of life occurred on April 30, 2019
  • CentOS and RHEL 6 end of life occurred on November 30, 2020
  • Oracle 6 End of life occurred on October 2020

After July 31, 2021, Zimbra Support will provide best-effort support for the last patch release on the listed operating systems. However, any known or existing bugs will not be addressed and Zimbra Support encourages all customers to follow our recommended upgrade path to a supported OS version at your earliest convenience to ensure no interruption in your support services.

For more information about the direction Zimbra is taking with supporting future operating systems please check our blog.

For questions or guidance with upgrading your operating system please open a support case and our Support team is here to assist you.
