Small businesses, like any other, must have effective server programs in place for intra-office and client communication. Collaborative server software is available to small business owners who are ready to invest in taking the step toward streamlining tech processes. By purchasing your email server, you also stand to gain multiple other effective tools including a contacts manager and calendaring software.
The latest Microsoft iteration, Exchange Server 2013 brings upgraded items you would have loved about its predecessor, Exchange Server 2010 (in case your now-small business was yet to be conceived). The server is more streamlined, with two simplified roles – a mailbox server role and a client access server role.
Exchange Server 2013 combines Lync and Sharepoint integration to bring the better of two worlds together in one product. The mailbox server houses all things email-related such as client access protocols, Hub Transport service, Mailbox databases and unified messaging. The Client Access server oversees authentication, redirection and proxy services as well as HTTP, POP, IMAP and SMTP.
The product ensures users are always in control of their communications at prompting with availability on all devices by the addition of Windows Outlook Web App (OWA). MS Exchange Server 2013 supports compliance with basic anti-malware protection and capabilities including Data Loss Prevention (DLP) as well as PIN lock-enforced approved mobile device list removal.
The In-Place eDiscovery interface helps you perform inbox-wide searches across Exchange, SharePoint and Lync data.
In short, you’ll find the most helpful tools to date on the Exchange Server, with a more efficient structure than has been available in the past. The improvements to OWA, Windows file servers, compliance tools and much more improve usage and speed for employees and clients alike.
