Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Support:
Migrating to Exchange Server 2013
Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Migration Overview
Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 builds on the success of Exchange Server 2010 and introduces key architecture changes plus new or enhanced features that improve performance and availability, cut hardware and operating costs, strengthen security and compliance, improve backup, and streamline management. But these enhancements call for special care in planning an upgrade or migration and require close adherence to best practices in deploying Exchange 2013. You can upgrade directly to Exchange 2013 from 2010 or Exchange 2007. If you are upgrading from earlier versions of Exchange, it is recommended that you first upgrade to Exchange 2010.
