Last year we were joined by Roundcube, the most popular open source webmail client. At the time we promised to invest in the project and since then we have brought back the mailing lists and accelerating development. And today – we introduce enterprise support for Roundcube!

A need for enterprise support for Roundcube

Since Roundcube joined us, Nextcloud began to receive requests from large hosting companies for support. While Roundcube is lightweight and relatively easy to run, businesses prefer that their business critical applications are backed by a serious SLA. There has never been an official Enterprise support offering for Roundcube, but Nextcloud has extensive experience servicing large organisations.

So, today, we are excited to introduce the first official offering of enterprise support for Roundcube! It is tailored specifically for mail providers running large instances with thousands to millions of end users. We also offer our services to help businesses, universities and the public sector, but our offering makes the most sense for larger installations.

Our goal is to help organisations that want to deploy Roundcube – lowering the barrier to entry and helping Roundcube grow. And, of course, the improvements, bug fixes and funds that come out of this will go back into Roundcube, making it a better product for everybody!

Find more about how and why Roundcube joined Nextcloud in this interview with the founders of Roundcube and Nextcloud!

Partners: Open-Xchange, Stalwart and Mailvelope

We are NOT doing this alone, on the contrary. We’ve assembled a top-team of industry veterans and up-and-coming talent, working with mail server solutions Dovecot Pro and Stalwart, as well as the privacy experts at Mailvelope. Together, we’ve created a complete offering of enterprise support for Roundcube for companies looking to host an amazing email solution.

Learn more here.

Pick a mail server, choose if you’d like to add PGP encryption, and you’ll be online in no time. Interested? Contact us through the form on our web page!

Background on the support for Roundcube

“The user feedback clearly indicated demand for enterprise support,” said Frank Karlitschek, Founder & CEO at Nextcloud. “The first official enterprise support offering since Roundcube’s initial launch in 2008 delivers on this need and will make Roundcube more accessible to large organisations, encouraging broader adoption of Roundcube and directing resources toward its development.” 

Hosting companies around the world such as HostGator, Media Temple, Gandi, OVH and others use Roundcube. In addition, Roundcube is used by many well known universities such as Harvard University to provide email services to students and staff. We believe that these and other organisations will greatly benefit from enterprise support for Roundcube.

Frank Hoberg, founder at Open-Xchange, said: “Our partnership with Nextcloud brings together two major players in open-source based software to deliver an enterprise-grade email backend support option to the wider Roundcube community. Based on Dovecot Pro, this delivers an email backend with range of advanced features, including its exclusive high availability architecture, extended search, and document previews, along with the highest level of support for mission-critical email they demand.”

Mauro De Gennaro, president of Stalwart Labs LLC said: “We are excited to collaborate with Nextcloud on delivering a reliable and modern enterprise email platform to hosting providers across the globe.”

Thomas Oberndoerfer, founder of Mailvelope said: “We are excited to partner with Nextcloud to integrate our OpenPGP-based end-to-end encryption with Roundcube. This collaboration ensures that users can enjoy secure and private email communications seamlessly within their browser.”

Future releases of Roundcube will be able to work with the new JMAP standard supported by Stalwart, modernising and streamlining email management. Roundcube Enterprise is designed for mail providers, complementing the dedicated Nextcloud Mail solution integrated in Nextcloud Hub, which has a focus on providing collaboration services within enterprises.

Organisations interested in the enterprise support offering can learn more and get in contact on our dedicated Roundcube page.

DLRG’s innovative use of Nextcloud Hub for managing the world’s largest water rescue network https://nextcloud.com/blog/dlrg-worlds-largest-water-rescue-network/ Thu, 25 Jul 2024 09:45:31 +0000 https://nextcloud.com/?p=241207 Discover how the Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft uses Nextcloud to provide water safety to all!

The post DLRG’s innovative use of Nextcloud Hub for managing the world’s largest water rescue network appeared first on Nextcloud.

]]>
How does the world’s largest water rescue organization develop new training methods and exchange data during disaster control operations? By using Nextcloud of course!

For the IT team at Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft (DLRG) or the German Life Saving Association, it was crucial to provide its users the best possible experience to get their life-saving work done. Combining the benefits of open-source software and the security, expandability and simplicity of Nextcloud, their team found the perfect solution.

About The German Life Saving Association

The German Life Saving Association, DLRG is the world’s largest voluntary organization for water rescue with over 600,000 members. Since its founding in 1913, the DLRG has made it its mission to prevent people from drowning. The main tasks of the organization include swimming and lifesaving training, raising awareness about dangers in and around bodies of water, as well as water rescue services.

In approximately 2,000 clubs, volunteers contribute over eight million hours of voluntary work each year for the people of Germany. More than 49,000 members annually ensure the safety of bathers and water sports enthusiasts at around 2,700 bodies of water.

Collaboration across boundaries with Nextcloud

DLRG desired a central location to store documents and files that could be easily accessed anytime, anywhere and by anyone with permissions. Their goal to set up file exchange across organizational boundaries was met with Nextcloud, where no IT intermediary has to be involved, streamlining efficiency and productivity.

For these reasons and more Nextcloud Enterprise was the ideal solution:

  • Open source software that they could operate and integrate into their own infrastructure
  • Have a central location accessible from anywhere
  • Data protection-compliant file storage
  • Ability to exchange files across organizational boundaries (no intermediary user) with group folders
  • Guaranteed security with regular updates
  • Customization with various add-ons
  • Compliance with GDPR
  • Nextcloud Groupware: Calendar
  • Nextcloud Forms
  • Work on mobile devices
  • Strong community base
  • Long-term, lifelong solution

Implementing Nextcloud Hub

DLRG’s Nextcloud instance is directly on their own servers, making it extremely date secure. It is operated on virtual Linux machines and delivered via several virtual web servers. Up to 20,000 users have access to one or more folders!

A solution that fits user needs

Implementing the Nextcloud Content Collaboration Platform was the key to give users the much needed flexibility and autonomy in their work.


“A joint collaboration platform enables members to achieve the core objectives of the association, for example by developing new training concepts for water rescue or exchanging data in the context of disaster control operations.”


Dr. Dirk Bissinger, Vice President of Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft e.V

Members say they love the simplicity of central file management in Nextcloud Files and easy access and sharing with Group Folders. In addition, being able to collaborate on a shared document in Nextcloud Office, even from their mobile phone, is extremely valued. Nextcloud Calendar is also used widely for planning and scheduling.

Lifelong data security

Since the introduction of Nextcloud at DLRG, data protection has significantly improved. As previously files were stored decentrally with various commercial providers, today members can store their data on the association’s own servers in compliance with the GDPR.

With the ability to perform regular software updates, DLRG can rely on Nextcloud and can guarantee security for its users and the people outside their organization.


“We chose Nextcloud because we were looking for an open source software that is individually expandable and has a large community that enables further developments.”


Dr. Dirk Bissinger, Vice President of Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft e.V

One aspect they are currently working on updating is the expansion of storage capacity and in the near future, the further development of automations is planned.
