IT Technology News and Progent Business Solutions

At the Tech•Ed Europe 2009 show in Germany, Business Division President Stephen Elop announced the production release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. Built with a new structure that improves uptime, strengthens protection, reduces deployment costs, and simplifies management, Exchange Server 2010 teams with Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 as a member of the next generation of IT platforms created to enhance business efficiency and profits.

Exchange 2010's enhancements in the field of system uptime include the use of database availability groups that continuously copy mailboxes and offer rapid, unassisted recovery from hard disk or processor failures without complicated clustering schemes. Innovations like retention control policies, role-based access management, and allow/block or quarantine lists for wireless devices strengthen protection. To accelerate return on investment, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 can conserve up to 20% on operational expenses, 50% on full server fault tolerance, 40% on voice mail, and 70% on disk storage.
