IT Technology News and Progent Business Solutions

At the Microsoft Tech•Ed 2009 conference in Germany, Microsoft Business Division President Stephen Elop announced the worldwide availability of Exchange Server 2010. Equipped with an innovative structure that improves availability, strengthens protection, reduces costs, and simplifies administration, Exchange Server 2010 teams with Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 as a member of the next generation of IT platforms created to increase business efficiency and profits.

Exchange 2010's improvements in the field of fault tolerance include the use of database availability groups that automatically replicate mailboxes and provide fast, automatic recovery from hard disk or processor breakdowns without complicated clustering configurations. Innovations such as retention control policies, role-based connection control, and block or quarantine control for mobile handsets strengthen security. To improve return on investment, Exchange Server 2010 can conserve as much as 20% on operational expenses, 50% on server fault tolerance, 40% on voice mail costs, and 70% on disk systems.
