Microsoft Exchange 2010 ExpertiseAt the Tech•Ed 2009 conference in Berlin, Microsoft Business Division President Stephen Elop announced the production release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. With an innovative architecture that increases availability, strengthens security and compliance, reduces cost of ownership, and simplifies management, Exchange 2010 joins Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 as a member of a new generation of information technology solutions designed to enhance business productivity and profitability.

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