I have been using ClarkConnect (http://www.clarkconnect.com/) for the past couple of years. It appears to offer most of the features of EZblue as well as some additional features at a lower cost. They offer a free community edition, too. The Magellon software appears unnecessary. I set up my server as a Samba PDC. Users log in and are connected to the server shares automatically. The snapshot feature can be replicated by using Windows built-in off-line synchronization feature which will automatically copy files to and from the server every time the user logs on or off. If that is not enough there is the free SyncToy utility from Microsoft. ClarkConnect will be offering a hardware appliance in the future. Clark is well supported, actively developed, easy updates and offers monitoring services as well.
Before I considered using EZblue I would also look at SME Server (formerly E-Smith/Mitel http://wiki.contribs.org/Main_Page) or Ebox (http://ebox-platform.com/). I would like to see Ubuntu come out with a small business version of their server software with a web GUI. I've seen mention of them adopting the eBox platform, but that has not come to fruition yet.
