14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has waited until after the release of the first upgrade for the latest version of Exchange Server, before offering customers a resource designed to deliver insight on the product’s component architecture. Still, the successor of the popular Exchange 2007 Component Architecture poster is now available free of charge via the Microsoft Download Center.
The poster can be printed for availability in offline scenarios, when users will want to quickly look at the architecture and feature set of Exchange Server 2010.
“We're pleased to let you know that the Exchange Server 2010 Architecture Poster is now available for download in all its 36" x 24" goodness,” revealed Microsoft’s Astrid McClean.
“The poster helps you understand how the major components of Exchange 2010 work and serves as a quick reminder and a learning tool. The printed version also looks really impressive on your wall!”
Customers will be able to look over the high-level architecture, but also get information on additional capabilities such as management and monitoring, but also a number of roles, including: the unified messaging server role, the mailbox server role, the client access server role, the edge transport server role, the hub server transport role and high availability.
“Those of you headed to Berlin for TechEd Europe next month will be able to pick up your very own full-size glossy version from the Unified Communications booth,” McClean promised.
In addition to Exchange 2010 Architecture Poster, customers can also download the Exchange 2010 Transport Architecture Diagrams, also from the software giant.
In the second half of August 2010, the Redmond company released the RTM version of Service Pack 1 for Exchange Server 2010.
SP1 is a free upgrade offered to all customers running Exchange Server 2010.
Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) RTM is available for download here.
