MS Exchange 2013

With the advent of cloud services, business communication has evolved with an aim to shift the focus
more towards collaboration. MS Exchange has been following in the same footsteps to meet the unique
communication and collaboration needs of organizations. The latest preview release of Exchange 2013
merges a gamut of exciting technologies into a single communication platform. This redesigned
Exchange system empowers you to keep your business communications safe while making them easy-
to-manage across a multitude of devices. Exchange 2013 builds on the capabilities of Exchange 2010.
Here are some of the noteworthy enhancements that the new release of Exchange brings to the table:

Moving Towards the Next Generation of Hardware


A radical change that will benefit both Exchange administrators and organizations is the improved
aggregate disk utilization to support multiple large mailboxes per volume. Further, reduced database
IOPS and the overwhelming search query performance make Exchange now all set to utilize 8 TB
disks.

Low Operational Overhead and Increased Availability


A range of high availability improvements (such as multiple databases per volume, auto-reseed, lagged
copy enhancements) have been incorporated in Exchange 2013. It inherits Exchange 2010's DAG
continuous replication, but the management has become relatively easier with optimized cmdlets and
the automatic DAG network configuration.

Exchange Administration Center


The Exchange Management Console and Exchange Control Panel are now combined to form a single
Web-based UI, i.e. the Exchange Administration Center (EAC). With Role based access control, you do
not have to depend on administrators anymore for carrying out specific tasks in EAC. The intuitive
interface lets you manage everything smoothly and efficiently.

Avoiding Server Downtime Due to Surges in Traffic


The simplified administration of Exchange 2013 enables you to prioritize tasks in order to reduce
significant effort and improve throughput. It also features tools to help secure your system against
unexpected surges in traffic.

Moving to the Cloud


With Exchange 2013, you can choose to move all your mailboxes (on-premises or online) to the cloud
according to your business needs. In this way, administrators may facilitate seamless sharing of
information among the users. In addition, they can plan deployments in the non-peak hours to ensure
minimum user disruption.

Built-in Protection against Malware


Exchange now allows you to keep your business email from virus or other malware infection. You can
apply the desired protection settings as well enable integrated reporting through the Exchange
Administration Center. Further, you can anytime turn off this protection or choose to go for premium
services (such as Exchange Online Protection for layered protection)

Securing Mission-Critical Information with Data Loss Prevention (DLP)


Exchange now has built-in DLP policies with the ability to add other policies that are critical to your
business. It enables you to identify sensitive business data through rigorous content analysis and protect
it from any type of accidental disclosure. These DLP policies follow some regulatory standards (for
instance PII and PCI). In addition, you can inform users about these policies for avoiding violations.

Improving the Level of Collaboration with SharePoint Integration


The new Exchange offers a unified platform to gain access to both Exchange emails and SharePoint
documents simultaneously. Combining the capabilities of Exchange and SharePoint enables users to
efficiently work together for a business project. With compliance policies implemented at the mailbox
level, as a user your work won't be affected.

Organizing Shared Conversations Using Public Folders


Exchange now supports online public folders. These folders do have the same functionality as that of
regular mailboxes and public folder content. You can search these public folders through the end-user
search.

Windows 8-style Experience Using the New Outlook and OWA


The new release of Outlook completely redefines user experience to make it easy, comprehensible, and
intuitive. The OWA can now be seen as a desktop, slate, or a phone browser. It also supports voice,
touch, and motion.

Support for Offline Access


You can work with OWA launched in a browser even without a network connection or when working
from remote locations. Your messages are delivered when the connection is again established. You can
use this feature with browsers that have built-in HTML5 local data storage feature.

Exchange 2013 helps you remain in control when managing your business communications or when
moving to the cloud. You can choose to do everything on your terms, improve productivity, cut down
costs, and take your business to the next level.
