Zimbra also has an Outlook connector. To end users it's invisible that they are on a Zimbra Server instead of and Exchange server. I switched us here over to a Scalix backend which is similar to Zimbra. Functionality wise for the end users is nearly identical to exchange. But for me on the back-end it runs much more smoothly.

Judging from the screenshots, I bet it's just a version of the web client with offline sync'ing, probably built Mozilla Prism or something similar. Personally, I think they probably should have just invested their time/money in developing Lightning.
