IT Technology News and Progent Business Solutions

At the Microsoft Tech•Ed 2009 show in Germany, Business Division President Stephen Elop announced the production release of Exchange Server 2010. Built with a new architecture that improves uptime, strengthens security and compliance, reduces cost of ownership, and simplifies administration, Exchange 2010 joins Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 as part of a new wave of information technology solutions designed to enhance business productivity and profitability.

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