2018 - Microsoft released Exchange 2019, but no way to deploy it
Microsoft has released a new version of its e-mail and collaboration server Exchange 2019. And companies can already download the update, but there is one problem - there is no way to install it. Because it works only on the server operating system Windows Server 2019 which hasn't been released yet. As for the innovations in Exchange 2019, they mainly improve system performance. The new version can use up to 48 processor cores and 256GB of RAM and is optimized for SSD-drives. In general, it is obvious (and the company does not hide this) that Microsoft is developing Exchange with a focus only on large and very large companies. And they want to transfer all small and medium businesses to the cloud-based Microsoft Office 365, which provides the email server as a service.
2010 - Google Apps making Microsoft nervous
Recently, Google released the next anti-microsoft tool - Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange, the plugin which allows you to easily move mail, calendars and contacts from Exchange to Google Apps. Last year they released the utility that syncs Outlook with Google Apps, but now you can import data directly from the Exchange server. Previously, Microsoft just ignored such events, or commented that Google Apps - is just a toy that no serious company will use. But Google's constant pressure is making them nervous. Microsoft recently launched the channel on Youtube, which contains videos explaining why MS Office products are better than Google's. For example, here's the video Exchange vs GMail:
But Microsoft did not take into account the fact that Google updates its services faster than they create videos. Therefore, some features such as remote data wipe, the office reservation issue, clipboard, offline file access in Google Docs - were already implemented in Google Apps. Other issues can be implemented in the near future. As a result, this marketing campaign only shows that Microsoft is really afraid of Google Apps.
2009 - Exchange 2010 - unified messaging in the Cloud to compete with Oracle Beehive
Microsoft officially released the new version of its enterprise email server Exchange Server 2010. It's desktop client Outlook 2010 will appear only next year together with other Office 2010 applications. What is the most interesting about Exchange 2010? First, thanks to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 (details here), and some new features in the new version, Exchange 2010 is now completely adopted for the cloud deployment. Of course, Hosted Exchange 2007 has been already provided for some years, but the latest version is much more secure, reliable and suitable for administration, when installed on the remote server (or in, because Microsoft has decided to divide some of its functions between other products. The built-in Exchange messenger has migrated to Microsoft Office Live Communications Server, and the web-conferencing server - to Live Meeting. In addition, Microsoft now recommends to share files not with Exchange, but on the intranet portal Sharepoint (although the Exchange public folders are still included). Thus, Exchange Server will be used just to manage e-mail, contacts, calendars and tasks. From the other hand Exchange Server 2003 got the new functions from the mobile server Microsoft Mobile Information Server and using a mobile the web client Outlook Mobile Access and server-side Exchange ActiveSync (to sync mobile email-client with server) allows users to work with e-mail, calendars and tasks on their mobile devices.
2003 - Lotus unfolds for smaller customers
IBM on Wednesday announced new packages of its Lotus Domino server software, targeting smaller businesses and broadening its attempt to convert customers from Microsoft's Exchange.
The new packages--Lotus Domino Collaboration Express and Lotus Domino Utility Server Express--offer IBM's e-mail and collaboration software with license terms and technical tweaks suited for smaller businesses rather than the large enterprise accounts Lotus has focused on.
Ken Bisconti, vice president of messaging and advanced collaboration solutions for IBM's Lotus division, said the packages are intended for businesses with 100 to 1,000 employees that haven't adopted other Lotus products. The e-mail and collaboration products are designed to give those customers an easy, low-cost way to sample the collaboration tools--which allow workers to work remotely on documents, conduct online meetings and perform other tasks--built into Domino.
'Price is a part of the argument, but I think it's more important for people on another platform to look at the value of the collaboration solutions we can provide,' Bisconti said. 'Rather than just providing a simple e-mail solution and half-broken public folders, we're offering a powerful suite of collaboration features.'
The small-business segment has yet to adopt collaboration software in any widespread way, even though many could benefit from such tools, Bisconti said.
'I think there's a lot of unmet demand and unrecognized opportunity here,' he said. 'You don't have to be a 3,000-worker organization to find value in our software. In some cases, it's a 10-person organization that's spread all over the country that can really benefit from collaboration.'
IBM also hopes to woo customers with broad software compatibility. Both packages work on a variety of operating systems, including Intel-based Linux, Microsoft's Windows, IBM's AIX take on Unix, and Sun Microsystems' Solaris version of Unix. The packages also work with a variety of e-mail client software, including Microsoft's Outlook.
IBM is in the midst of a broad effort to revamp its Lotus division, focusing on integrating existing products and developing new software packages to expand Lotus' range. The company earlier this year introduced a streamlined set of office applications intended to compete with Microsoft Office and unveiled new Lotus products built around its WebSphere Web services software.
Lotus Domino Collaboration Express sells for $89.25 per user when trading up from competitive e-mail products, or $119 for new purchases. Lotus Domino Utility Server sells for $5,000 for each server processor it runs on. Both products are available now.
2000 - MS Exchange 2000 Server gets inbuilt messenger to win over G Suite
Microsoft has released the new version of its collaboration solution Exchange 2000 Server. Unlike its predecessor, which included inbuilt directory service, Exchange 2000 fully relies on the external directory service Windows Active Directory, and because of this, many users may have big problems with this upgrade. Also Exchange 2000 Server includes a built-in messenger Exchange Instant Messaging (which supports any IRC-client) and web-conferencing service Exchange Conferencing (which works with Outlook 2000 and NetMeeting). Another new feature in Exchange 2000 is called Web Store - it's a file system that allows to organize and easy search for unstructured data inside Exchange, like web pages, documents, email messages .
1999 - Lotus is losing ground to Exchange
According to the recent IDC report, the leader of the groupware market is changing. In the first half of this year, the number of sold MS Exchange licenses (8.1 million) has already exceeded the number of sold Lotus Notes / Domino licenses (7.4 million). The third place, as before, is occupied by Novell GroupWise, but with a considerable lag (2.69 million). Even last year, Lotus was confidently leading the groupware market, but continued delays in the new version of Lotus Notes / Domino 5 release was the main reason of why many new customers opted to go with Microsoft Exchange. Although Lotus Notes is still ahead of Exchange on the number of sold licenses in Europe and Asia, and still boasts the larger client base, acquired over the past years.
1997 - Microsoft Exchange 5.0 adds web-access, new desktop client MS Outlook to stand out over Lotus Notes
The new version of Microsoft's mail server Exchange Server 5.0 includes the Web interface Exchange Web Access, which enables users to access information in the Exchange via Internet browser. However, to get this opportunity you'll have to pay for a client license, even if you do not have a mailbox on the server. In addition to the new web client, Exchange Server now has a new desktop client - MS Outlook 97, which is a part of MS Office 97 and replaces the calendaring app Schedule+ and e-mail client Exchange Client. In addition, the new Exchange features support of messaging protocols SMTP and POP3, as well as directory access protocol LDAP. The standard version of Exchange Server is priced at $ 999 for the server license.
