The Top 10 Reasons to Upgrade to Exchange Server 2007 from Apptix
1. Increased availability
With Cluster Continuous Replication in combination with
Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS), active/passive
clusters provide both database and service redundancy
without requiring expensive shared storage, even when
clusters span geographic locations.
It is this capability, combined with Apptix's highly
redundant and balanced internet data center that enables
us to provide you with an SLA of 4-9's, meeting or
surpassing industry standards.
2. Reduce compliance risk in a way that makes sense for
business
Exchange Server 2007 incorporates features specifically
designed to help your business comply with corporate,
regulatory, and legal requirements. These features
enable you to apply retention rules, scan and act on
messages in transport, flexibly journal, and perform
rich text searches across mailboxes in your
organization. Exchange Server 2007 eases the toll often
placed on administrators charged with applying and
enforcing compliance policies, while avoiding adverse
impact on employees and their productivity.
3. Optimize your investment for future growth
As a native 64-bit application, Exchange Server 2007 can
access more memory, ensuring high performance and
reliability as mailbox sizes and the number of user
accounts per server increase.
4. Comprehensive protection from spam, viruses and
phishing attacks
Exchange Server 2007 provides integrated anti-virus,
anti-spam, and anti-phishing technologies to stop the
latest threats before they impact your business and
employees.
Apptix adds additional security to both inbound and
outbound threats to your system by adding Trend Micro™'s
ScanMail™ anti-virus system installed at the server level
and free with every Exchange mailbox.
You can get additional security from MX Logic's Email Security Defense Package that provides Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and Content Filtering on both inbound and outbound messages which protects you from Fraud and Phishing attacks.
The combined forces of Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007,
Trend Micro™, MX Logic, and Apptix provide you with a
virtually impenetrable messaging system, free from both
inbound and outbound attacks.
5. Confidential Messaging
All mail traveling within an Exchange Server 2007
organization is now encrypted by default. Transport
Layer Security (TLS) is used for server-to-server
traffic, Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is used for Outlook
connections, and Secure Socket Layers (SSL) is used for
Client Access traffic (Outlook Web Access, Exchange
ActiveSync, and Web Services). This prevents spoofing
and provides the confidentiality of messages in transit.
6. Improved collaboration with integrated SharePoint
services
Enhanced internal and external collaboration via
LinkAccess allows users to retrieve and display a
SharePoint site document without a VPN connection.
Collaborate and brainstorm on projects, presentations,
meeting notes and reports all located in SharePoint for
member use. And SharePoint now supports blogs and wikis.
Overlay a SharePoint calendar to your personal and
professional Outlook Calendar and enhance team project
planning and management.
With 100MB SharePoint site free with every Exchange 2007
Server hosting from Apptix your project plans and other
documents remain safe, secure, and always available.
7. Enhanced Calendaring increases collaboration and
improves productivity
Microsoft® Calendar Concierge makes scheduling meetings
easier and more reliable, increasing productivity and
efficiency. Outlook now automatically suggest the best
time available for a meeting based on attendee schedules
and lists available resources. Incoming meeting requests
are automatically processed as they arrive and placed on
calendars as "tentative", even if you're not logged in.
Enhancements to Out-Of-Office Assistant provides you
with the additional flexibility of scheduling messages
to begin and end on specific dates and times and you can
create different messages for internal and external
recipients.
8. Improved Web-based messaging provides secure access
to e-mail, voice mail, calendars, and contacts from
virtually anywhere, anytime
Outlook Web Access (OWA) has been re-designed to provide
a rich, Outlook-like experience in any browser.
- Securely access SharePoint documents without a VPN or
tunnel
- View attachments in HTML
- Access RSS subscriptions
- Search Global Address Lists
- Improved Search capabilities
- Use the functions of Calendar Concierge remotely
- Remote document access via LinkAccess
9. Improved access with Microsoft ActiveSync for mobile
devices
Mobile devices incorporating Exchange ActiveSync
maintain a secure connection with Exchange Server 2007,
receiving new or updated e-mail, calendar, contacts, and
tasks as soon as they arrive on the server without
requiring a manual sync. This Direct Push method
optimizes bandwidth usage while keeping users regularly
up-to-date.
10. Device security and management
Administrators can choose to enforce policies on devices
used in their organizations including requiring PINs of
varying length and strength and enforcing a Device Wipe
of data and applications, should the device be lost or
stolen. These controls become granular with Exchange
Server 2007, allowing per-user policies. Device usage
can be tracked and managed centrally within the Exchange
Server environment and end-users can remotely utilize
the Device Wipe function from OWA.
