Microsoft Exchange Server

Microsoft Exchange Server delivers a reliable, scalable, and manageable infrastructure with 24/7 messaging and collaboration plus low cost of ownership. It supports a wide range of collaborative activities, including group scheduling capabilities, discussion groups, and team folders, and also provides access to information across geographic, organizational, and technology barriers with features such as Instant Messaging, real-time data, and video conferencing. The latest version of Exchange Server offers improvements over previous version of Exchange Servers in many important areas that include security, performance, and mobility.
If your small business is currently using an email system hosted by an ISP or if you are running your Outlook clients in POP3 mode, Microsoft Exchange Server offers an array of improved features in the areas of manageability, performance, capacity, availability, and collaboration:

• Unlike the store-and-forward model used by POP3 email systems, Microsoft Exchange Server Server uses a central-store model that frees users from dependence on a specific desktop or notebook computer, reduces vulnerability to hardware failure or virus attacks, and allows both on-line and off-line email, automatic backup, and sophisticated sharing and collaboration.
• Exchange Server has powerful collaboration features that allow work groups to increase productivity by sharing calendaring, address books, messages and files.
• The flexibility of Exchange Server makes it possible to add third-party security enhancements or accommodate wireless devices such as the RIM Blackberry wireless handheld.
• Exchange Server supports powerful management and tracking tools so you can make sure your email system is operating efficiently.
• Exchange Server allows full on-line backup without affecting users, enabling 24x7 operation by eliminating scheduled downtime and maintenance blackouts.
