Exchange 2010 SupportAt the Tech•Ed 2009 show in Berlin, Microsoft's Stephen Elop introduced the production release of Microsoft Exchange 2010. Equipped with a new structure that improves uptime, strengthens security, lowers cost of ownership, and streamlines management, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 joins Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 as part of the next wave of information technology platforms created to enhance business productivity and bottom-line profit.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010’s improvements in the area of system uptime include the use of database availability groups that automatically copy mailboxes and offer fast, unassisted restoration from disk or server breakdowns without complicated clustering schemes. Features like retention control policies, role-based access management, and block or quarantine lists for wireless handsets improve security and compliance. To improve ROI, Exchange 2010 can conserve up to 20% on operational costs, 50% on server fault tolerance, 40% on voice mail, and 70% on disk subsystems. To view Microsoft's press release, refer to Microsoft Delivers Exchange Server 2010.
