VMware has announced that A.P. Mahesh Cooperative Urban Bank has deployed the VMware Zimbra Collaboration Suite to help the bank take advantage of an enterprise-class email, calendar and collaboration solution. 

With 39 branches across the country, the Hyderabad-based A.P. Mahesh Cooperative Urban Bank Ltd is India's premier cooperative financial institution with diversified banking products. With growing complexity and limited support, administering multiple mail servers for the bank’s branches was a challenge.

“We have been successfully using VMware products that have helped us improve the performance and scalability of our IT environment, which has in turn enabled our business with the flexibility and agility we require in the banking sector,” said Umesh Asawa, Managing Director & CEO, A.P. Mahesh Bank. 

Vinod Krishnan, Director – Advanced Technologies, VMware India & SAARC, said, “VMware Zimbra is designed to help end-users more efficient by connecting them with their data while providing IT departments a simple way to manage the transition to a public or private cloud and help deliver the benefits promised by the post-PC era.”
