Microsoft has announced the launch of its next generation e-mail messaging solution, Exchange Server 2010. Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 incorporates many features aimed at web and online services like database availability groups, which automate database-level disaster recovery; online mailbox moves, which give users access when mailboxes are moved; and new management tools, including role-based access control.
“Within this challenging environment, Exchange 2010 delivers, first by delighting end users, making them more productive and reducing costs. With Exchange Server 2010 customers can report cost savings of up to 70 percent thanks to a simplified high-availability model and support for lower-cost storage. Customers can also benefit from productivity gains of more than 20 percent with a universal inbox that delivers e-mail, voice mail, instant messaging and text messaging consistently across virtually any device,” said Sanjay Manchanda, director, Microsoft Business Division.
Exchange 2010 is available anywhere via Outlook – on the PC, phone, or browser and has new capabilities, including Voice Mail Preview, SMS Text Messaging, MailTips, Conversation View, Call Answering Rules and more. Exchange 2010 delivers by helping customers protect their communications, giving IT the ability to encrypt messages based on sender, receiver or even the content of the message and attachments. With the release of Forefront Protection for Exchange, IT can also add an additional layer of security on top of what is built-in to Exchange 2010.
“This release marks a significant step in our ongoing efforts to fully embrace software-plus-services. Just last week, we announced our amazing progress toward helping organisations efficiently manage email by moving all or some of their users to the cloud. Exchange Online as part of the Microsoft Online Services is now available in India to help enterprises and small and medium sized businesses reduce costs and enhance productivity,” added Manchanda.
