Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 provides a collaboration environment that delivers secure messaging capabilities to recipients inside and outside an organization. Besides a powerful email server, it supports group scheduling capabilities, discussion groups, team folders, mobile and Web access, and a host of other features.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Standard Edition is designed for small-to-medium-sized organisations. It is limited to five databases and five storage groups, but data storage is limited only by hardware capacity. Larger organisations should consider Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Edition.
The 2007 version requires x64 hardware (Intel EM64T or AMD64), which makes more efficient use of memory and storage than 32-bit hardware. It also features numerous improvements in protection, remote access, and operational efficiency. If your server computer does not support x64 software, a downgrade to Exchange Server 2003 is available through Microsoft’s Software Assurance programme.
This product includes a server license. Each user or device that accesses Exchange Server must have an Exchange Server user or device client access license (CAL). Enterprise Exchange Server CALs (user or device) are needed for certain server functions; they can be used only in conjunction with standard Microsoft Exchange Server CALs.
Installing this product requires a license key and installation media. After your order is processed, instructions for obtaining the license key will be sent to your organization email address.Hardware:
