What
is the EMC Signature Solution Centre for Microsoft Exchange Server solutions?
Solution Centre hosts an end-to-end best practices Microsoft Exchange Server
set up, demonstrating different elements and scenarios that figure in
real-life installations.
Rationale
The adoption of unified messaging is growing rapidly and for many
organisations it has become a prime business critical communication
instrument. As part of a unified messaging environment, the Microsoft
Exchange Server 2007 is designed to maximise business continuity and agility,
bring control to MIS and eliminate risks at a controllable and foreseeable
cost. With email as the backbone for business continuity the expectations
around availability and performance are high and at the same time IT
organisations need to deal with information growth rates of 50-60% year over
year. So, the success of email comes with a price: more scalable and robust surrounding
technologies are required to uphold and improve service levels. Microsoft
Exchange Server has become the most widespread and successful email platform;
hence it forms the core of our Solution Centre.
