=Insight Server=
Insight Server, formerly known as TradeXCH, is mostly a suite of many open source applications using components of Cyrus IMAP,{{Cite journal|volume=3|year=2003|title=Verständnisvoll|language=German|url=http://www.linux-magazin.de/Heft-Abo/Ausgaben/2003/03/Verstaendnisvoll|publisher=Linux Magazin|first=Thomas|last=GrahammerFeilner|access-date=3 March 2012}} Exim, Postfix, Berkeley DB, OpenLDAP, Apache, and ProFTP. Bynari has developed a web interface for administrating the different applications.
It was the first commercial web server based on the open source software Kolab version 1.{{cite web|title=Bynari erstellt neuen Kolab-Konnector für Outlook|language=German|url=http://www.linux-magazin.de/NEWS/Bynari-erstellt-neuen-Kolab-Konnector-fuer-Outlook|date=18 January 2008|publisher=Linux Magazin|first=Markus|last=Feilner|access-date=3 March 2012}} A version based on Kolab 2 was canceled, because of Kolab's change of storing the data. It also uses Spamassassin, Clamav, and AMaViS for security. It conforms to open standards: SyncML, GroupDAV, CalDAV, and WebDAV. The middleware products are developed by Bynari and provide groupware sharing with calendars, contacts, and tasks.
