IT Technology News and Progent Business Solutions

At the Tech•Ed 2009 show in Berlin, Microsoft Business Division President Stephen Elop introduced the worldwide availability of Exchange 2010. With a new structure that increases availability, strengthens security, lowers costs, and streamlines administration, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 teams with Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 as a member of the next wave of information technology solutions created to enhance business productivity and profitability.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010's enhancements in the area of fault tolerance include the use of database availability groups that continuously copy mailboxes and provide fast, unassisted recovery from disk or processor failures without complex clustering schemes. Features such as retention management policies, role-based access management, and allow/block or quarantine control for wireless devices improve security. To improve return on investment, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 can conserve up to 20% on support expenses, 50% on server redundancy, 40% on voice mail, and 70% on hard disk storage. To read Microsoft's news release, refer to Microsoft Announces Release of Exchange 2010.
