Flexible and Reliable
Deployment Flexibility – Exchange is available both as on-premises software and a hosted service so you will have the freedom to choose the right deployment option for your organization.
 

Continuous Availability – Exchange Server 2010 offers a simplified approach to high availability and disaster recovery to help you achieve new levels of reliability to deliver business continuity. These investments can:
Remove the need to deploy complex and costly clustering solutions for full-• scale redundancy.
• Automate mailbox database replication and failover with as few as two servers or across geographically dispersed datacenters.
• Maintain availability and fast recovery with up to 16 Exchange-managed replicas of each mailbox database.
• Limit user disruption during mailbox moves, which allows you to perform migration and maintenance activities on your schedule.
• Guard against lost e-mail due to Transport Server upgrades or failures, through new built-in redundancy capabilities designed to redirect mail flow intelligently, through another available route.
 

Simplified Administration – New self-service capabilities help enable users to perform common tasks without having to call the help desk. With this functionality you can:
• Allow users to update their contact information and track delivery receipt information for e-mail messages without IT assistance.
• Offer an easy-to-use Web-based interface for common help desk tasks.
• Utilize the new Exchange Role-based access control model to empower specialist users to perform specific tasks without requiring administrative control—like giving
compliance officers the ability to conduct mailbox searches.
 

Anywhere Access
Manage Inbox Overload – Exchange Server 2010 provides your users with access to all of their communications from a single location and helps your users easily organize and prioritize the communications in their inboxes.

Efficient Collaboration – Exchange Server 2010 adds new features that make it easier for your users to collaborate with each other and with business partners.

Your users will experience:
• Share free/busy information with external partners for fast and easy meeting scheduling that respects users’ privacy by giving them control over the level of detail they wish to share.
• MailTips that inform your users, before they click send, about message details that could lead to undeliverable or mis-sent e-mails.
• An enhanced conversation view that streamlines inbox navigation by organizing message threads automatically, based on the natural conversation flow between communicating parties.
 

Enhanced Voice Mail – Exchange Server 2010 allows your users to receive voice mail messages in their inboxes, and manage them just as they do e-mail. Your organization will benefit from the cost-savings of a voice mail system replacement and consolidation while providing users with features like:

Information Protection and Control – Exchange Server 2010 expands Information Protection and Control support, so it is simple to encrypt, moderate, and block sensitive or inappropriate e-mail based on specific sender, receiver, and keyword attributes.

You can:
• Combine Exchange 2010 and Active Directory® Rights Management Services (AD RMS) so that you and your users can apply Information Rights Management (IRM) protection automatically to restrict access and use of information within a message.
• Allow partners and customers to read and reply to IRM-protected mail—even if they do not have AD RMS on premise.
