Exchange Server 2010 Support ServicesAt the Microsoft Tech•Ed 2009 show in Germany, Microsoft's Stephen Elop announced the worldwide availability of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. Built with a new design that increases availability, strengthens protection, reduces costs, and simplifies administration, Exchange Server 2010 joins Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 as a member of the next generation of IT solutions created to increase business productivity and profitability.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010’s improvements in the field of system uptime include the use of database availability groups that continuously replicate mailboxes and provide fast, unassisted restoration from hard disk or server breakdowns without complicated clustering configurations. Innovations such as retention control policies, role-based access management, and block or quarantine control for mobile devices improve security and compliance. To accelerate return on investment, Microsoft Exchange 2010 can conserve as much as 20% on support costs, 50% on server fault tolerance, 40% on voice mail costs, and 70% on hard disk subsystems.
