IT Technology News and Progent Business Solutions

At the Microsoft Tech•Ed Europe 2009 conference in Berlin, Microsoft's Stephen Elop announced the worldwide availability of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. Built with a new design that increases availability, bolsters security and compliance, reduces deployment costs, and simplifies administration, Microsoft Exchange 2010 teams with Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 as part of the next wave of information technology solutions designed to enhance business productivity and bottom-line profit.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010's enhancements in the field of system uptime include the introduction of database availability groups that continuously copy mailboxes and provide rapid, unassisted recovery from hard disk or processor breakdowns without complex clustering schemes. Features such as retention management policies, role-based connection management, and allow/block or quarantine control for mobile devices strengthen security and compliance. To improve ROI, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 can conserve up to 20% on support costs, 50% on full server redundancy, 40% on voice mail costs, and 70% on hard disk subsystems.
