Microsoft Launches Hosted Exchange
10 Comments
Microsoft on Thursday rebranded its FrontBridge offering as Exchange Hosted Services, which provides e-mail and instant messaging solutions to businesses who want to avoid setting up the technology in house. EHS focuses on security and centers around four areas: filtering, archiving, backup and encryption.
Microsoft also said it plans to roll out version 5.3 of EHS in April, improving searches, language support and accessibility features. The new release will also enable administrators to force users to choose strong passwords. Version 6 of EHS is slated to debut alongside Exchange "12" in 2007 with support for hosted calendar and contacts.
