This recent whitepaper from Microsoft discusses having large mailboxes without breaking your budget and keeping e-mail on the Exchange Server instead of allowing it to be scattered in Outlook Data Files (.PST files). By centrally storing email on the Exchange server it helps reduce the risk of data loss; improves regulatory compliance and increase productivity among both workers and IT staff.
It made some quite interesting reading and provides “food for thought”
Thanks Mark
Certainly a long time comming with Google offering enormous mailboxes for ‘free’. Surely Enterprise customers can do better and this as a step in the right direction. Centralised archiving, retention and DR capabilities have been lacking in the past with users archiving their mail to their laptops.
