Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Beta Released!

UK SBSC — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:03:20 GMT

Microsoft is proud to announce yet another ground-breaking beta release—Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.

Microsoft has listened to feedback from IT pros like you and worked to make Exchange simpler, more flexible, and more reliable. Find out how Exchange offers a wide array of deployment options and cost-saving features that still deliver one of the richest user experiences in the marketplace. Always an industry standard, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 has been improved in three major ways:

It is more flexible and reliable. And easier to deploy and administer. So it can save you and your customers money by reducing IT overhead and help-desk loads. Online options let you and your customers leverage cost and technology advantages of cloud-based solutions, which also support data backup, storage, and disaster recovery.
It delivers anywhere access. Let’s face it. Nothing is going to work better with Microsoft Office Outlook-enabled devices than Exchange. But interoperability goes beyond that. Beyond Windows without walls. Beyond even the Windows Mobile software platform. Exchange Server 2010 can help users access all their communications from a single location, wherever it might be. Whatever the device. Whatever the platform or browser. So everyone gets more done.
It provides better communications protection and compliance. Exchange Server 2010 delivers integrated information-loss prevention and compliance tools that make it easier to protect communications and meet regulatory requirements. Built-in defenses against viruses and junk e-mail. Support for an array of third-party security products. The ability to respond quickly to litigation and discovery requests without workflow disruption. It’s a package your customers will want.
