Exchange 2010 ConsultingAt the Microsoft Tech•Ed 2009 show in Berlin, Microsoft Business Division President Stephen Elop introduced the worldwide availability of Exchange Server 2010. With an innovative design that improves uptime, strengthens security and compliance, lowers cost of ownership, and streamlines management, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 teams with Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 as part of the next generation of IT platforms created to enhance business productivity and bottom-line profit.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010’s enhancements in the field of system uptime include the use of database availability groups that continuously replicate mailboxes and offer rapid, unassisted recovery from hard disk or server breakdowns without complex hardware clustering schemes. Innovations like retention management policies, role-based connection control, and block or quarantine lists for mobile handsets strengthen protection. To accelerate ROI, Microsoft Exchange 2010 can save up to 20% on support costs, 50% on server redundancy, 40% on voice mail costs, and 70% on hard disk subsystems.
