At the Tech•Ed 2009 show in Berlin, Business Division President Stephen Elop introduced the worldwide availability of Exchange 2010. Built with an innovative structure that increases uptime, bolsters security, lowers deployment costs, and simplifies administration, Microsoft Exchange 2010 teams with Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 as a member of the next wave of IT platforms designed to increase business productivity and bottom-line profit.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010's improvements in the field of fault tolerance include the introduction of database availability groups that continuously replicate mailboxes and offer rapid, automatic recovery from hard disk or processor failures without complex clustering configurations. Innovations such as retention management policies, role-based connection management, and block or quarantine lists for mobile devices strengthen security. To improve ROI, Exchange Server 2010 can save as much as 20% on operational expenses, 50% on full server redundancy, 40% on voice mail costs, and 70% on hard disk storage.
