Exchange Server 2007
Microsoft Exchange Server is a messaging and collaborative
software product developed by Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft Servers
line of server products and is widely used by enterprises using Microsoft
infrastructure solutions. Exchange's major features consist of electronic mail,
calendaring, contacts and tasks; support for mobile and web-based access to
information; and support for data storage.
Exchange Server 2007 was released in late 2006 to business customers as part
of Microsoft's roll-out wave of new products. It includes new clustering
options, 64-bit support for greater scalability, voice mail integration, better
search and support for Web services, better filtering options, and a new
Outlook Web Access interface. Exchange 2007 also dropped support for Exchange
5.50 migrations, routing groups, admin groups, Outlook Mobile Access, X.400,
and some API interfaces, amongst other features.
Exchange Server 2007 (v8 or with SP1 v8.1) runs on 64-bit x86-64 versions of
Windows Server only. This requirement applies to supported production
environments only; a 32-bit trial version is available for download and
testing. However, companies currently running Exchange Server on 32-bit
hardware will be required to replace or migrate hardware if they wish to
upgrade to the new version. Companies that are currently running Exchange
Server on 64-bit capable hardware are still required to migrate from their existing
Exchange 2000/2003 servers to a new 2007 server since in-place upgrades are not
supported in 2007.
The first beta of Exchange Server 2007 was released in December 2005 to a very limited number of beta testers.
A wider beta was made available via TechNet Plus and MSDN subscriptions in
March 2006 according to the Microsoft Exchange team blog On April 25, 2006,
Microsoft announced that the next version of Exchange Server would be called Exchange Server 2007 .
