Exchange Server 2010 ConsultingAt the Tech•Ed 2009 show in Berlin, Microsoft's Stephen Elop announced the production release of Exchange Server 2010. Built with an innovative structure that improves availability, bolsters security and compliance, lowers cost of ownership, and simplifies administration, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 joins Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 as a member of the next wave of information technology platforms created to increase business efficiency and profits.

Exchange Server 2010’s enhancements in the field of fault tolerance include the introduction of database availability groups that automatically copy mailboxes and provide rapid, unassisted recovery from disk or processor failures without complex hardware clustering schemes.
