Title: Microsoft Exchange Labs Post by: Tanya on October 09, 2007, 02:54:20 AM Microsoft Exchange Labs
is it? As part of Microsoft's software + services strategy, we are enhancing the way we build, test and deliver Exchange. On October 1, 2007, we announced Exchange Labs, a new program for testing the next version of Exchange in high-scale services environments. Who can use Exchange Labs? The initial rollout of Exchange Labs is designed for select schools and universities as part of Windows Live @ edu. Windows Live @ edu "powered by Exchange Labs", allows these select academic institutions to easily connect students and alumni with e-mail, and integrate these users with existing on-premises Exchange Server deployments that support faculty and staff. If you are a school, and interested in Exchange Labs for your organization, please see Getting Started with Exchange Labs. What features are enabled with Exchange Labs today? For end-users we have: Windows Live ID authentication, that can be used with Messenger, Spaces, and all of the other Windows Live services Support for the complete Outlook experience: Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Web Access, Outlook Mobile Support for the broadest set of 3rd party clients with POP, IMAP, and Exchange Activesync support 5 GB of mailbox quotas Security with SSL enabled all of the time Shared address books and calendars For school administrators we have: Provisioning and administration tools to manage student and alumni accounts Ability to integrate on-premises Exchange deployment for faculty and staff, with hosted Exchange Labs for students and alumni As always, I look forward to feedback from our community on this new program.
