Microsoft Exchange
Services | |
Do
you have an old version of Microsoft Exchange
and want to migrate to the latest version? We
can assist your IT department or handle the
implementation ourselves, with comprehensive
Microsoft Exchange server implementation
services. We can ensure your local and remote
mail users get the scalability, reliability,
security and performance they require. And, we
can achieve that goal while avoiding or
minimizing the disruptions normally associated
with a Microsoft Exchange Server migration.
We are experts in:
- Microsoft Exchange Server installation
- Upgrades to Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003
- Microsoft Exchange Server migration and
customization services
How we proceed: Microsoft
Exchange Server Readiness Assessment ?
We will review your current environment,
including the Windows 2000/2003 domain, network
and SMTP architectures. Required changes or
issues that may pose undue risk for the
migration will be documented over the course of
the assessment.
Microsoft
Exchange Server Planning, Design and
Implementation ?We will analyze
business requirements and map them to Microsoft
Exchange Server capabilities. Then, the physical
and logical design of the Exchange Server
architecture will be defined along with the
major tasks that will take place over the course
of the installation, upgrade or migration
project. If required, the service team will also
review the current message environment, existing
domains and the network architecture. We also
install and configure Microsoft Exchange Server
software and all relevant Microsoft Service
Packs and Hot Fixes. The Windows NT (WNT)
network protocols, the Microsoft Exchange Server
connectors for Internet Mail, Mail Service,
Microsoft Mail and cc:Mail, along with the
Exchange Server client software for networked
clients will be configured, as appropriate. The
client connection to the server and a mailbox
and the ability to send and receive mail to and
from the server will be
verified.
E-mail Server Archiving
& Storage Assessment ?This service
is designed to gather metrics on current usage
profiles and data retention as well as gather
usage metrics for servers and storage and
network traffic. The information is then
reviewed and recommendations on system
configuration are developed based on performance
results and the number of anticipated users.
Microsoft Exchange Server Test
Pilot ?Provides a practical approach
to test concepts that may include customized
applications, testing new versions and backup of
the production environment. Based on the results
of the pilot, the logical and physical designs
of the Exchange Server architecture will be
updated along with any special implementation
activities.
Complete
documentation and basic training will
be conducted for the ongoing maintenance of the
system.
Microsoft Exchange
Server Support ?PC CHINA offers flexible
support plans targeted to meet the needs of help
desk personnel or IT professionals, including
on-site and telephone support. PC CHINA also
specializes in emergency Microsoft
Exchange Server upgrades, when a
customer's mail systems are down and a migration
to a new server and Microsoft Exchange Server is
the only option.
Microsoft
Exchange Server 2000/2003 Exchange
Server, the Microsoft messaging and
collaboration server, enables businesses to send
and receive electronic mail and other forms of
interactive communication through computer
networks. Designed to interoperate with a
software client application such as Microsoft
Outlook, Exchange Server also interoperates with
Outlook Express and other e-mail client
applications. Exchange Server offers
integrated collaborative messaging features such
as scheduling, contact and task management
capabilities. Exchange Server 2003 runs on
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft
Windows 2000 Server operating systems. Microsoft
Office Outlook 2003 runs on Windows-based
computers and communicates with the server
running Exchange Server through the MAPI
protocol that includes powerful messaging and
rich collaboration capabilities. Exchange Server
also accommodates other client access through
its support for Post Office Protocol 3
(POP3) and Internet Message Access
Protocol 4 (IMAP4) protocols as well as
support for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP). Microsoft Outlook Web Access, a service
in Exchange Server, accommodates what are known
as thin clients (Web browser–based access
clients). Exchange Server 2003 supports
mobile devices such as Pocket PC and Smartphones
and enables businesses to synchronize an Inbox,
Calendar and Contacts and Tasks lists to
remotely check appointments and other important
information. Mobile device browsers are also
supported through Exchange Outlook Mobile
Access, which enables HTML, compressed HTML
(CHTML) and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
browser–based devices to access Exchange
Server. |

Exchange Server 2007 Product Overview
|
For
most businesses today, e-mail is the
mission-critical communications tool that allows
their people to produce the best results. This
greater reliance on e-mail has increased the
number of messages sent and received, the variety
of work getting done, and even the speed of
business itself. Amid this change, employee
expectations have also evolved. Today, employees
look for rich, efficient access--to e-mail,
calendars, attachments, contacts, and more--no
matter where they are or what type of device they
are using. For IT professionals, delivering a
messaging system that addresses these needs must
be balanced against other requirements such as
security and cost. Enterprise security
requirements have become more complex as the
demand and use for e-mail has increased. Today, IT
departments must contend with e-mail security
threats that are wide ranging: continually
evolving spam and viruses, noncompliance risks,
the vulnerability of e-mail to interception and
tampering, in addition to the potential harmful
effects of natural and man-made disasters. While
security is clearly a priority, IT is ever
cognizant of the need to manage cost. Time, money,
and resource constraints are a fact of life as IT
is made accountable to do more with less. As a
result, IT professionals look for a messaging
system that addresses enterprise and employee
needs while also being cost-effective to manage.
The system must be efficient to deploy, provide a
high return on investment, and allow the messaging
administrator to be as productive as possible.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 has been designed
specifically to meet the above challenges and
address the needs of the different groups who have
a stake in the messaging system. The new
capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
deliver the advanced protection your company
demands, the anywhere access your people want, and
the operational efficiency you, in IT, need. |
