Three keys to successfully implement Microsoft Exchange

Assess requirements and determine the Exchange service model

There are three different options for Exchange.

• You can choose your own local version of Microsoft Exchange, which is just software that is installed on your server locally.
• You can choose with Office 365, which is Microsoft's cloud version of Exchange.
• You can choose a local Australian partner and pay them to host your Exchange for you.

Speak with an IT professional to assess the requirements and see which option is best for you.

Exchange Server Enterprise Edition supports clustering of up to 4 nodes when using Windows 2000 Server, and up to 8 nodes with Windows Server 2003. Exchange Server 2003 also introduced active-active clustering, but for two-node clusters only. In this setup, both servers in the cluster are allowed to be active simultaneously. This is opposed to Exchange's more common active-passive mode in which the failover servers in any cluster node cannot be used at all while their corresponding home servers are active. They must wait, inactive, for the home servers in the node to fail.
