Marketing description

Businesses today rely on their messaging and collaboration servers more than ever. This reliance means that you do not just need a way to send e-mail or create groupware. Businesses need a comprehensive messaging platform that includes the tools necessary to create rich collaboration applications. Microsoft Exchange Server is that platform. It is scalable, reliable, and secure. It offers high performance and high availability. Exchange Server allows you to choose the protocols for clients that are best for them, rather than locking them into a single protocol environment. If you want to build collaborative applications that take advantage of the messaging platform, Exchange Server provides tools that help you take advantage of existing knowledge.
Unlimited storage capacity and SMP support in Exchange Enterprise Edition enable hosting thousands of users per server on Windows NT-class hardware. Single instance message store maximizes disk utilization. Clustering support in Exchange Enterprise Edition keeps your server up and running in case of a hardware failure so your business can stay online.

Product features

• E-mail reliability
  Installing and running Exchange Server Enterprise Edition helps ensure that e-mail is up as frequently as possible. With Exchange Server built on Windows server, it is possible to achieve up to 99.99 percent uptime, or less than an hour of downtime per year.
• Failover clustering
  You can take advantage of failover clustering to minimize e-mail downtime. The distribution of e-mail servers over multiple nodes in a cluster will help ensure that if one node goes down, another node will take over - your customers and employees will continue receiving e-mail uninterrupted.
• E-mail security
  In addition to being reliable, e-mail must be highly secure. The constant use of e-mail poses the ever-present threat of security breach that could be disastrous. Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) provides the framework for more secure e-mail, in addition to collaboration.
