Exchange Server 2007 White Paper

Microsoft's Exchange Server has come a long way since the release of Exchange 4.0 in April 1996. Exchange 4.0 was Microsoft's first step into the datacenter. 10 years later, CEO Steve Ballmer officially launched Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 at the NASDAQ headquarters in New York.

The Redmond Company is also making available for download a White Paper entitled "An Overview of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007."

"Today's business requirements-such as security, disaster recovery, and mobility-are more extensive than ever before. To meet these requirements, Exchange has extended its reach beyond simple e-mail to increase user productivity and keep information close at hand, while being flexible enough to meet your organization's administrative model. This white paper delivers an overview of Exchange Server 2007 and describes how this next generation of Exchange helps increase user productivity and administrator efficiency while fulfilling your evolving business requirements," reveals Microsoft.

The white paper delivers an architectural overview of Exchange Server 2007 with emphasis placed on the 64-bit advantages. Microsoft also underlines the innovative features and capabilities of Exchange Server 2007 including protection from exterior threats and message security, compliance, availability, simplified management and the increase in productivity.

The Exchange Server 2007 White Paper also deals with the deployment issues and presents the two methods of installation: via the traditional GUI or through the Exchange Management Shell.
