Charts & IllustrationsExchange and Outlook Overview
Exchange Server 2010 became generally available in Nov. 2009. Exchange Server 2010 includes archiving, compliance, high-availability, and performance improvements, and support for new client features such as a new conversation thread view and speech-to-text conversion for voice-mail previews. It requires 64-bit editions of Windows Server 2008 or later and will not run on Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2.
Outlook 2010 became generally available with Office 2010 in June 2010. When used with Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010 provides new capabilities for managing mail threads and previewing voice mail, among other features.
Microsoft hosts Exchange for customers, a service called Exchange Online. Exchange Online comes in two editions, a multitenant service and a dedicated service in which each customer has dedicated hardware in a Microsoft data center. The multitenant service was upgraded with Exchange 2010 support when Exchange Online became part of Office 365 in June 2011. Exchange Online services receive updates approximately every quarter.
