Is there an Exchange replacement for that too?
No, but ask yourself whether you really need central calender managment. Sometimes the answer will be yes (and then you'll do goot to chaeck Bynari InsightServer which solves that problem as well) and sometime you'll discover that you are willing to have everyone worjk in peer to peer mode with the added twist that you put the personal mailboxes (pst files for outlook, .evolution for evolution on a central server for backup). You get slightly less functionality for a very high decrease in cost and very high increse in availability. I can testify from my own expreince that i was able to pull this off in my previous place of work and that when the hard time came (and they did as you all know) the money saving on not having to renew Exchange license and all that jazz might very well have bought it a couple more months of lifeline cash. As I said this is only recommended if you have an inhouse highly comptent admin.
