Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise - The ideal software solution for large enterprises

Based on the 2016 version, Microsoft has improved the groupware and e-mail transport server software used in numerous companies with Windows environments in key areas. As a result, companies that buy Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise benefit from Microsoft's most powerful central management and storage to date for tasks, contacts, appointments and e-mails.

The current Enterprise version, unlike the Standard edition of Microsoft Exchange, is precisely tailored to the requirements of large enterprises. Notably, it supports up to 100 databases with a capacity of 2 terabytes each. For comparison: Exchange Server 2019 Standard, adapted for small and medium-sized companies, supports only 5 databases.

Bing search, voicemail features and revamped calendar

Users who buy and use Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise for the first time will notice several important changes right away. The most noticeable change for end users is the revised calendar system, which in the current version is modeled on Office 365 and thus also offers simple calendar sharing. In addition, administrators gain new and extended functions for more efficient management through additional PowerShell cmdlets and the newly integrated "Do not Forward" feature from the 2019 version onwards. These include functions such as "Remove-CalendarEvents" and "Add-MailboxFolderPermission", which are used to assign delegation permissions.

With Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise, Microsoft also removes the now outdated FAST search from the software and replaces it with the Bing search engine. Search information and search indexes are therefore now part of the mailbox databases. In addition to the old search, support for Unified Messaging is also discontinued, so the software's voicemail functionalities now operate via Cloud Voice Mail. Accordingly, Skype for Business 2019 or Office 365 is required for use.

More performance for higher demands

The fact that large enterprises in particular buy Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Enterprise is due to the traditional support for particularly high-performance server systems. In the current version, Microsoft also addresses this need and increases the maximum supported memory from 192 GB to 256 GB. Performance adjustments go even further in terms of CPU performance. Here Exchange Server 2019 even scores with a doubling of the maximum supported processors from 24 to 48. Full support for SSD drives as cache provides further noticeable performance optimization in direct operation.
