subject: Cloud-centric Features Of Exchange 2010 Hosting [print this page] It is quite obvious that the Microsoft exchange solution is good solution to businesses of small and medium size with around 500 users. If the organization exceeds this count, it would require an on-site mail infrastructure. The Microsoft exchange 2010 hosting has put this problem to an end with the release of Exchange 2010 SP1. It has incorporated with cloud-centric features, equipped to increase the message service flexibility at a lower cost of ownership.
The exchange 2010 is built in such a way that it can function smoothly both in the cloud and on-site. The feature embeds creative options for the mailing services. It enables the large organization to divide the users into two groups, one for the heavy email use, one for the less. The mailboxes are then assigned to either an in-house system or third party services. The in-house infrastructure can be beneficial to the intensive users at HQ. However, users who access mail services through the web would be benefitted by the third party. This would call for a handsome investment in the infrastructure, and a high flexibility to handle the growth due to the mail service in the cloud.
Additionally, the creation of Database Availability Groups (DAG) is allowed by a complex database design. These are part of the 16 Exchange servers that maintains multiple mail databases using the replication. In case of failure, the Exchange service maintains within 30 seconds. This is an ideal infrastructure for the cloud service where the Exchange could be accessed across the one or multiple vendor hosting locations so as to receive true system survivability and to avoid a loss of data.
The exchange 2010 hosting was built with the idea of virtualization and several servers that are planned to scattered across multiple hosts for immense availability. Therefore the virtualized cluster of exchange in the cloud can flexibly meet up to needs of the bigger organizations, or even it increase the ability to meet the demand growth of a medium enterprise by modifying either the individual server resources or the cluster for entering even more virtual machines. These two procedures give the organization with several paths to manage the growth, meet demand and handling the budget at the same time.
Ever since the launch of the Exchange 2010 hosting it has underwent a massive improvement in the form of Outlook Web App. It enables the users to enjoy the benefit of a unified communication solution from the cloud. It avails using the standard web browser, email, instant messaging, text messages, access to voicemails, at the same place. And with the aid of Microsoft ActicveSync these services are accessible in the Tablet and even smartphones. Hence cloud with all these facilities makes the corporate communication easy, transparent, and beneficial.
