IT Technology News and Progent Business Solutions

At the Tech•Ed Europe 2009 conference in Berlin, Microsoft Business Division President Stephen Elop introduced the worldwide availability of Exchange Server 2010. With an innovative architecture that improves uptime, bolsters security, reduces deployment costs, and simplifies management, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 teams with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 as part of a new wave of information technology solutions created to enhance business efficiency and profitability.

Exchange 2010’s enhancements in the area of fault tolerance include the use of database availability groups that continuously copy mailboxes and provide fast, automatic restoration from disk or server breakdowns without complicated clustering configurations. Innovations like retention management policies, role-based connection management, and allow/block or quarantine lists for wireless devices improve protection. To accelerate ROI, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 can conserve up to 20% on support costs, 50% on server fault tolerance, 40% on voice mail costs, and 70% on hard disk storage.
