reVolutionizing meSSagingAs mobile access and global workforces become the norm, enterprises must stay abreast of constantly changing challenges surrounding data access, operational efficiency, security, and data protection. A new messaging paradigm is emerging after years of stopgap measures: Enterprises are implementing comprehensive, integrated, end-to-end messaging solutions that incorporate not only e-mail but also voicemail, instant messaging, and web and audio video conferencing.

With a wide array of new features and capabilities specifically designed to help enterprises address these imperatives, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is evolving the traditional e-mail paradigm.

the challengeS of meSSagingMessaging has become a mission-critical application, tightly integrated into core business processes. As a result, problems may manifest across all aspects of your organization.

acceSS

• Users need quick and easy access to all forms of communication: e-mail, voicemail, IM, VoIP, etc.

• Increasingly mobile workforce puts additional demands on your infrastructure, including access control, security, and bandwidth.

performance

• Adding more 32-bit servers increases capacity but also makes the IT infrastructure more complex.

• Due to the increasing volume and number of users, IT needs to add more servers and can’t take advantage of the increased memory, processing power, and faster I/O of 64-bit systems.

Security

• Data is under constant threat of loss or attack, both internally and externally. Protection has become a 24x7 necessity.

• The high volume of spam, viruses, and malware can harm or even destroy critical data.

• Having a true site-level disaster recovery architecture for Exchange can be complex and costly.

deployment for organizations by providing 2 basic architecture models that can result in greater productivity and infrastructure efficiency.

– Agile Consolidated: A holistic, dynamic approach to the data center, the Agile Consolidated Model is ideal for organizations that value server and storage consolidation. Dell Storage Area Network (SAN) products, including Dell EqualLogic PS Series, Dell/EMC CX4 Series and the Dell AX4 Series, provide the storage foundation for this model.

– Simple Distributed: This model capitalizes on the significantly reduced IO and new high availability features of Exchange 2010 to provide a simple, streamlined and low cost infrastructure that distributes the Exchange workload across clustered “bricks” of servers and storage…in many cases not even requiring external storage even for a large organization with large mailboxes.

greater moBility anD anywhere acceSS• Enhanced universal inbox provides users access to all of their communications from a single location.

• Enhanced calendaring and productivity features allow users to collaborate with each other and external business partners, as well as organize and prioritize inbox communications.

more proDuctiVity at a lower tco• Native and robust high availability and disaster recovery helps organizations achieve new levels of reliability and reduce the complexity of delivering business continuity.

• Support for 10GB mailboxes helps increase user productivity.

• Dell’s 11th Generation Servers provide mailbox consolidation opportunities, while simultaneously helping to achieve significant power savings.
