EXCHANGE SERVER 2007 KEY FEATURES
The growing volume of e-mail messages coupled with e-mail’s mission-critical role in many
businesses places heavy demands on IT administrators. New tools in Exchange Server 2007 help
enable IT administrators to be efficient and productive as they manage the messaging environment:
Exchange Management Console offers administrators a graphical environment with less nesting, a
new action pane, and easy ways to filter large lists of objects.
Exchange Management Shell lets administrators manage all aspects of Microsoft Exchange via a
command line—making it easy to automate routine and repetitive tasks.
Outlook Autodiscover provides automatic client configuration to simplify Outlook mailbox setup,
avoiding end-user confusion and reducing one of the most common helpdesk inquiries.
Server roles simplify the process of installing Exchange Server 2007, reduce the need for manual
configuration, and provide a highly scalable architecture.
64-bit architecture
allows organizations to increase mailbox quotas and minimize per-mailbox
storage costs. Storage throughput requirements are reduced and a wider variety of storage systems
can be used.
Exchange Web Services provides a new standards-based API that allows developers to readily
integrate Exchange Server 2007 with line of business and service-oriented applications.
There will be 1.4 billion mailboxes by the end
of 2006 and that number will grow to 2.2 billion
mailboxes in 2009, an average annual rate of 16%.
