I have deployed Bynari, the only complaint against it is that you can't 
do group based permission grants.

One of it's advantages is that as far as Outlook is concerned it is 
using a local PST file. The Bynari connector then syncs the server and 
the local PST file.

That way if if the server is not available[1] you still have access to 
your mail and calendar etc. When the server comes back on line the 
Bynari connector just syncs the new entries.
