IT Technology News and Progent Business Solutions

At the Tech•Ed Europe 2009 show in Berlin, Business Division President Stephen Elop announced the worldwide availability of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. With a new structure that improves availability, strengthens protection, reduces cost of ownership, and simplifies administration, Microsoft Exchange 2010 teams with Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 as a member of a new wave of IT solutions created to enhance business productivity and profits.

Microsoft Exchange 2010’s improvements in the field of system uptime include the use of database availability groups that automatically replicate mailboxes and offer fast, unassisted recovery from hard disk or server failures without complicated clustering configurations. Innovations like retention control policies, role-based access management, and block or quarantine control for mobile devices strengthen security. To accelerate ROI, Microsoft Exchange 2010 can conserve up to 20% on support costs, 50% on server redundancy, 40% on voice mail costs, and 70% on hard disk storage.
