The Sun Java System Calendar Server is Sun's calendar (scheduling) server.

History and use

Sun's Java System Calendar Server has a long history, drawing technology from Sun Internet Calendar Server (SICS) and Netscape Calendar Server (NCS). In addition to the Calendar Server's three parents, the software has undergone multiple brand naming changes: iPlanet Calendar Server, SunONE Calendar Server, and now the Sun Java Calendar Server. The code base has been carried on throughout these minor brand changes with only feature/packaging enhancements and bug fixes.

From 2003 to 2006, the Calendar Server was bundled as part of Sun's Java Enterprise System bundle of Internet/Intranet server software. Later in 2006, the Calendar Server will be re-packaged as part of smaller bundled called the Sun Java Communication Suite. This suite of software products will include Sun Java System Messaging Server, Sun Java Instant Messaging Server, and Sun Java Communications Express. Supporting server software fo the Calendar Server includes Sun Java Directory Server, Sun Java Access Manager, and Sun Java Web Server. The supporting software will be included in the Communications Suite bundle with limited-use licence rights.

The Calendar Server is supported to run on multiple operating systems including Sun's Solaris, Red Hat, HP-UX, and Windows.
