Lower IT costs with a flexible and reliable platform
Pressure to optimize your IT infrastructure for ever-changing business
conditions requires you to be agile, so investing in solutions that provide
reliability and choice is critical. Exchange Server 2010 gives you the
flexibility to tailor your deployment to your unique needs and provides a
simplified way to help keep e-mail continuously available for your users.
This flexibility and simplified availability comes from innovations to the core
platform that Exchange is built on. These innovations deliver numerous advances
in performance, scalability, and reliability advancements, while lowering the
total cost of ownership 50-80%.
A new, unified approach to high availability and disaster recovery helps achieve
new levels of reliability as it reduces the complexity and cost of delivering
business continuity up to 80%. With new features, such as Database Availability
Groups and online mailbox moves, you can more easily and confidently implement
mailbox resiliency with database-level replication and failover, all with
familiar Exchange management tools.
Greater choice of storage hardware options, allows you to tailor your Exchange
infrastructure to your organization’s specific business or technology needs
while lowering the overall storage costs 50-70%. Storage options range from
support for traditional Storage Area Networks (SAN) to low-cost, desktop class
Direct Attached Storage (DAS). Larger mailbox size ensures that employees can
access the information they need to do their jobs in a quick and efficient
manner, without spending time deleting messages and managing their inbox to stay
under the imposed limit.
Administrative advances in Exchange 2010 can help you save time and lower
operational costs 15-20% by reducing the burden on your IT staff. A new
role-based security model, self-service capabilities, and the Web-based Exchange
Control Panel, allow you to delegate common or specialized tasks to your users
without providing them full administrative rights or increasing help desk call
volume.
With previous versions, our users could start a portable computer anywhere and
get their messages without the need for a virtual private network. Now, with
Exchange Server 2010 and Office Communications Server 2007 R2, that benefit is
extended to the voice mail realm. Whether you dial my extension or send me an
e-mail message, as long as my $200 netbook has an Internet connection I can
respond from anywhere.
We estimate that Exchange Server 2010 can reduce our costs to provide a mailbox
by more than 50 percent.

Your users live their business lives in their inboxes, but the ever-growing flow
