Exchange Online is a cloud service offered by Microsoft as part of the Office 365 product. Like other Office 365 services, it was created with the goal of providing customers with reliable and reliable IT services that eliminate the costly and insecure on-premises IT infrastructure deployment. Exchange Online provides single sign-on to the Single Sign On service, synchronizes with Active Directory, provides excellent scalability and reconfiguration - cost-effectively and painlessly.

Microsoft Exchange Online enables organizations to take advantage of the power of Exchange without on-premise deployment and maintenance, or combine on-premises and online services as needed - a hybrid deployment. For example, at large industrial enterprises, some of the equipment requires local hosting of services, and computers that are not involved in production can be serviced in the cloud.

Features and Benefits of Exchange Online

In general, Exchange Online has almost all the same benefits as other Office 365 cloud services:

Data transfer security

Microsoft uses ultra-strong data security practices in its cloud solutions:

  • SSL (Secure Sockets Layer - secure sockets layer) is a protocol that provides a secure connection between a client and a server. Confidentiality of data exchange is ensured by encryption with a special algorithm. Anyone who intercepts the data transmission receives only the encrypted code.
  • TLS (Transport Layer Security - transport layer security) is an upgraded version of the SSL protocol. This protocol additionally uses special algorithms to ensure the confidentiality and safety of the information flow.

Penetration control

Microsoft monitors all suspicious activity in the cloud that could be an intrusion attempt. Each incident is subject to an internal investigation. If the penetration actually happened, the company notifies the client and takes appropriate measures to minimize the risks and compensate for the damage.

Security audit

Microsoft provides a high degree of infrastructure protection by using the latest antivirus subscriptions and regularly updating the protection system.

Continuous access to data

All Microsoft Office 365 services guarantee 99.9% data access at any time and from anywhere in the world where the Internet is available. In case of non-compliance with the agreed quality level (SLA), Microsoft will reimburse the financial damage to the client.

PortalMicrosoft Online Services

Microsoft Online Services is the center of action in Office 365. Here users can find online help, launch SharePoint, Outlook, Web App (configuration and availability of services depends on the needs of the company). Administrators through the portal manage users and services, get access to the necessary tools and settings.

Directory Synchronization Tool

This tool allows you to synchronize cloud services with existing local Active Directory.

Remote administration

Microsoft Windows PowerShell™ allows administrators to remotely configure the system, automate processes using scripts. For example, tasks such as creating an account, resetting a password, assigning licenses can be fully automated.

Single sign-on to the service (Single Sign On)

Administrators get the ability to configure their own Active Directory with Microsoft Federation Services. All Office 365 users can then use their pre-existing credentials to sign in - they will be automatically signed into Office 365.

  • All subscription plans include basic organizational features.
  • All plans include anti-virus protection and anti-spam filtering through the Microsoft Online Protection Center.
  • User subscriptions are not required for conference rooms and shared mailboxes. They do not require special login credentials - authorized users manage these types of boxes through rights delegation.

Any of the Exchange Online subscription plans can be purchased as a standalone product or as part of Office 365. Each Office 365 plan includes Exchange Online, but features will vary.

User mailboxes

The volume of mailboxes is determined by the user's subscription. For special mailbox types, such as shared mailboxes and conference rooms, you can change the volume limits.

*Office 365 admins can use Remote PowerShell to shrink the mailbox size of all users or a specific user.

User mailbox data limit warnings

Exchange Online provides three notifications for users to let them know when their mailbox is approaching its limit:

Warning

Users receive a warning email.

Ban on sending emails

Users receive an e-mail informing them that the ban on sending correspondence from this mailbox is coming into force, due to the fact that the amount of data on it has approached the maximum allowable value. The user will receive an appropriate message non-delivery report (NDR) from the system.

Ban on sending and receiving mail

Exchange Online rejects incoming mail when the user's mailbox has reached its data limit. Users will not be able to send or receive mail until they free up some mailbox space.

*Remote PowerShell allows Office 365 administrators to change the default quotas at which one of three warnings is issued and the limits take effect.

The following table lists the default mailbox limit values:

Message size limits

Message size limits are required to prevent large message forwarding from impacting system performance and to ensure fast delivery for all users. The message size limit is a default global variable that applies to all messages, both incoming and internal. It is 25 MB.

*The value of the message size limit does not change, but administrators can optionally create a transport rule that limits the maximum size of a file attachment.

Message Limits

Exchange Online provides for limits on the number of messages and letters sent: messages can be sent from one mailbox to no more than 10,000 recipients, emails can be addressed to no more than 500 recipients per day. These limits are set for both internal and external correspondence.

*A mailbox group in the Exchange Online Global Address List is treated by the system as a single recipient, while in Personal Groups, each recipient is counted separately.

Exchange Online customers who have a need for mailing correspondence (for example, newsletters) should contact third-party providers of these services.

To prevent excessive consumption of system resources, Exchange Online also limits the number of messages a user can send per minute to a maximum of 30 messages. If the limit is exceeded, then Exchange Online will transfer messages, but will adjust the delivery rate: they will be queued for sending on the server.

After that, you can use mail in the same way as on an office computer.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 is the latest solution for corporate email and employee communications. Exchange Server has become almost the standard for corporate mail systems. From our own experience, we can say that over the past 3 years, LanKey has completed more than one project to migrate to Exchange Server from products such as IBM Lotus Domino, Alt-N Mdaemon, various Linux-based servers, as well as from hosting providers. At the same time, for all the time there was not a single request to switch from Exchange Server to something else.

Why are more and more customers choosing Microsoft Exchange, and what is its main difference from competitors?

For a long time now, company employees need more than just receiving and sending e-mail. Users want to have a database of contacts of colleagues and clients, they want to schedule appointments and meetings, management wants to assign tasks to subordinates and control their implementation. A dynamically developing business requires a faster response to customer requests, so employees need access to mail not only at the workplace, but also from home, while on a business trip or even on the road. At the same time, information security requirements are constantly tightened. Management wants to be sure that confidential correspondence does not fall into the hands of strangers, and employees want to receive less spam and viruses. Large companies require that employees of all branches have the same functionality of corporate mail and can easily move between offices. All these tasks will help to solve the implementation of Exchange Server 2016.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2016

Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 is a business-class corporate mail system that, in addition to the capabilities of a mail server, provides users with a wide range of collaboration tools, such as calendars, tasks, shared contacts and address books, public folders accessible through Outlook, in which they can be placed various common documents and mail.


Role structure of Exchange Server 2016

Implementing Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 will provide the following benefits:

1) Unified user environment. Single interface on computer and browser. The new Outlook Web App (OWA) provides a similar experience to regular Outlook that all users are used to. Now full access to mail can be obtained through Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari browsers. By implementing Exchange Server 2016, employees will have a single inbox for email, voicemail, fax, and SMS. It will be possible to listen to voice mail directly through Outlook. Each user can set up their own autoresponder.


Web access to MS Exchange from Outlook Web App (OWA)


Accessing MS Exchange from Outlook 2016

2) Increasing user productivity. Every day, users have to process dozens or even hundreds of emails, which takes a lot of time. A lot of time is spent searching for the right letter, it is difficult to find who wrote to whom and when. With a large number of letters, it becomes difficult to trace the correspondence. The new OWA in Exchange Server 2016 (as well as Outlook 2016) groups conversations into message threads and instead of a dozen messages received at different times and scattered in different folders, it displays only one item. By expanding this element, the user sees all the correspondence at once.


Example of grouping messages into a thread

In addition, when creating a letter, the user is given special prompts (MailTips). When creating a new message, information is displayed about possible restrictions on the size of the letter, if the user has exceeded it, information about the availability of contacts to which the user sends a letter, prohibitions to send to these recipients, etc. Previously, when a user, for example, sent a letter that exceeded the allowable size, the letter was sent from Outlook, then the mail server, receiving a letter that was too large, deleted it, and then sent the user a notification about the error and the inability to deliver the letter. Users, in turn, without reading the essence of the error, began to call the support service. As a result, while the problem was being solved, it took a lot of time, and an important letter could not reach the recipient for quite a long time. Now the user, even when creating a letter, sees whether it complies with the rules and policies and whether it will be delivered without errors.


Attachment Exceeded Hint Example

Thus, thanks to the implementation of Microsoft Exchange Server 2016, company employees will be able to save up to 20% of the time spent on mail processing.

3) Universal access. Exchange Server 2016 provides users with truly ubiquitous access, regardless of whether a person is in the office, at home, on a business trip or on the road, he will always be able to receive and send mail, make and receive calendar appointments, view contacts of clients and his colleagues. At the office, an employee works with his regular Outlook, at home he can use Web Access (OWA) or, again, use regular Outlook using Outlook Anywhere. Similarly, the user can connect to mail from any Internet cafe or hotel. In this case, a person does not need to set up any VPN connections, and all traffic will be encrypted. In addition, Exchange 2016 allows you to work with mail using a regular phone. You can simply call Exchange Server 2016, dial a pin in tone mode, and listen to your incoming mail (Exchange will read it with your voice), accept or decline calendar appointments, and even find people in your address book. This feature is called Outlook Voice Access (OVA).

4) Mobile access. Mobile access provided by Exchange Server 2016 deserves a special mention. Microsoft's ActiveSync technology has become the standard for accessing mail from mobile devices. This protocol allows employees to see all their corporate mail, contacts, calendar and tasks right on their mobile device. At the same time, thanks to DirectPush technology, users do not need to check mail manually, it comes to the device itself, similar to how SMS is received. As soon as a new letter arrives in the corporate inbox, it immediately appears in the mobile phone. The contacts of the phone and your contacts are also synchronized on the Exchange mail server. ActiveSync is supported by almost any smartphone or communicator based on Windows Mobile, Symbian, iPhone OS. For example, you can use HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Apple iPhone, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Gigabyte, Asus, HP, Acer and other smartphones. Employees can travel around the world, staying connected, receiving and processing email messages. In addition, using communicators based on Windows Mobile 6.1 and later, users can send and receive SMS messages directly from Microsoft Outlook 2016 or OWA.


5) Information protection. Exchange Server 2016 provides a wide range of email protection options. Exchange is built from the ground up to use the most secure means of authenticating domain users. Interaction with the Active Directory directory service occurs using the Kerberos protocol. For more secure operation, smart cards or biometric authentication systems can be used. All external communications, access via the WEB or using mobile devices are encrypted using the SSL protocol. In addition, users can use the encryption and signature of the electronic messages themselves using S / MIME technology. Encryption is available both from Outlook and via WEB or mobile access. Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 supports IRM (Information Rights Management) technology, which allows you to protect confidential Microsoft Office documents. With the help of IRM, you can, for example, prohibit the transfer of confidential documents outside the enterprise, prohibit their viewing and printing by persons who do not have the right to do so. In addition, for all users of the enterprise, email storage policies (mailbox retention policy) can be set, so that employees will not be able to delete their email (in whole or in part) for some time or other rules. Exchange 2016 allows administrators to search for messages across all mailboxes at once, which can be very useful, for example, when investigating information security incidents. Exchange 2016 provides email moderation capabilities. If a user sends a letter that meets certain criteria, then it will not reach the recipient until it is approved by the system administrator or other responsible person.

6) Antivirus and antispam protection. In Exchange Server 2016, quite good anti-spam features are already implemented in the basic configuration. But the main advantage of Exchange is that many very good anti-virus and anti-spam products have been developed for it. This highlights the GFI MailEssentials and GFI MailSecurity products. The main advantage of the last two anti-virus products is that several anti-virus engines can be used simultaneously to check e-mail. Among them: Kaspersky, McAfee, BitDefender, AVG Antivirus, Norman, etc. In addition, anti-virus scanning can occur at three levels: on edge servers (Edge Transport), on internal routing servers (HUB Transport) and on database servers (Mailbox) . Thus, Exchange Server can provide best-in-class email antivirus protection. And according to statistics, it is email that is the main source of the spread of viruses.

All of the above speaks to the great benefits of implementing Exchange Server 2016 from a user's point of view. But MS Exchange has a lot of benefits hidden from the eyes of users.

High degree of infrastructure integration

Exchange Server 2016 is a highly integrated communications platform. And if your company's IT infrastructure is built on Microsoft software, then you will get the maximum benefits, maximum security and the greatest ease of management. Exchange fully relies on the directory service (domain) of Active Directory, you do not have to create users 2 times in the domain and on the mail server separately. System administrators do not have to configure user workstations, Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016 will automatically connect to the Exchange server and be configured automatically using Autodiscover services. Exchange Server 2016 integrates with Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2013 (formerly known as ISA Server) to provide the highest level of protection against external threats. Exchange integrates with products such as Microsoft CRM and SharePoint, and the combination of Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Office Communications Server provides a powerful Unified Communications solution.

Unlimited scaling options

Exchange Server 2016 has almost unlimited scalability, it can unite hundreds of thousands of users under one email domain. An unlimited number of mail servers can be installed in an organization, the servers themselves can be scattered geographically around the world, each of the servers can contain mailboxes of different users. Moreover, administrators do not have to configure mail routing, Exchange will do this automatically based on the topology of Active Directory sites. Like Exchange Server 2013, Exchange 2016 has a role model that allows for even more load balancing and administration flexibility.

High availability and fault tolerance

E-mail is a critical service for almost every company, but for some companies, mail is a service on which business processes directly depend. Even an hour of email downtime can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Such companies include banks, stock exchanges, insurance companies and many other enterprises in the financial and manufacturing sector. To ensure the availability of the corporate mail system 24/7, LanKey is implementing Exchange Server 2016 clusters that provide 99.999% or more availability.

Beginning with Exchange Server 2007, powerful clustering and replication technologies (CCR, SCR, LCR, and SCC) appeared. In Exchange Server 2016, all these technologies have been replaced by one even more advanced technology - DAG (Database Availability Group). This technology allows you to replicate mail databases between cluster nodes. And in the event of a failure of a hard drive, an array, or even an entire server containing an active database, the passive copy will instantly turn on. At the same time, users will not experience a single second of downtime, they will not even know that the mail server is out of order, and will continue to work quietly.


Exchange Server 2016 Failover Infrastructure Example

The main difference between DAG and previous technologies, such as CCR, is that each active database can have up to 16 passive (backup) copies, all cluster nodes can be active, can contain several active and several passive copies of mail databases. Now, even when using the DAG along with the Mailbox role, you can install the Client Access, HUB Transport, and Unified Messaging roles.

Reduce hardware, software and maintenance costs

Paradoxical as it may seem, but even if you already have Exchange Server 2013 or, moreover, Exchange Server 2007 deployed, switching to Exchange Server 2016 will save direct costs for hardware, software and IT infrastructure support.

Reducing equipment costs. In Exchange Server 2016, the I/O system for disk subsystem requests has been significantly redesigned. Thus, it was possible to reduce the load on the disk subsystem by 75% compared to Exchange Server 2007, and by 50% compared to Exchange Server 2013. And if earlier expensive RAID 10 disk arrays based on SCSI or SAS disks were required for the mail database, then now you can get by with simple SATA drives combined into RAID 5 arrays. In addition, earlier, building an Exchange Server 2003 cluster required the mandatory presence of a SAN and iSCSI or FC disk arrays, which cost tens of thousands of dollars. Also in such a cluster there was a single point of failure - this is the disk array itself. It was possible, of course, to purchase fault-tolerant arrays with hardware data replication, but these are already prices of the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars. All this is no longer required if you are implementing an Exchange Server 2016 cluster. DAG technology itself provides data replication, and it does not require a SAN and a shared disk array at all. And a simple shared folder can be used as a quorum. But even if we take a CCR cluster based on Exchange Server 2007, it turned out that one server is active and the second server is passive. Those. you bought 2 powerful servers, and 99% of the time only one was working, and the second was just idle, consuming electricity. In Exchange Server 2016, when using a DAG, all servers are running at the same time and are active.

Reducing software costs. Previously, building an Exchange Server 2007 cluster required a minimum of 2 Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Editions, costing approximately $4,000 each, for the Mailbox role and 2 Exchange Server 2007 Standard Editions, costing $700 each, for the Client Access and HUB Transport roles. An Exchange Server 2016 cluster can now be built on Exchange Server 2016 Standard Edition. In addition, now all roles can be combined on one server, and in fact a cluster can be built by purchasing only 2 Exchange Server 2016 Standard servers for $700 each (when using a software or hardware load balancer for the Client Access role).

Reducing maintenance costs. As mentioned above, Exchange Server 2016 has a number of tools that take the load off system administrators. For example, Mail Tips tell the user about problems or possible errors, even when creating a letter, before sending it. This allows you to significantly reduce the number of calls to the support service. By implementing MS Exchange Server, users themselves will be able to restore mistakenly deleted messages without contacting the system administrator to restore their message from a backup copy. In Exchange Server 2016, a special ECP (Exchange Control Panel) control panel has become available to each user, which allows users to change their domain password, view delivery reports for sent and received messages, create and manage distribution groups, and manage their smartphones. And all this can be done without the participation of a system administrator. Every day, the support service receives requests that a letter was sent to an employee, but it did not reach, or vice versa, the user sent a letter to the client, but he did not receive it. In Exchange Server 2016, users themselves can view the delivery report and see what happened to their email. It is often difficult to get and control that employees use the company's standard form of signature in e-mails. In Exchange 2016, system administrators can set up dynamic email signatures for all employees at once. So, for example, employees of the human resources department can be delegated the management of contact information.

Implementing Microsoft Exchange Server 2016

Exchange Server 2016 is a fairly complex product, and its implementation, contrary to some opinions, is somewhat more complicated than running setup.exe and a few clicks of the "Next" buttons. An enterprise-wide deployment of Exchange Server 2016 with a large number of users and a large number of branches requires certified professionals with extensive experience in similar projects. In addition to the development of the MS Exchange server infrastructure itself, appropriate planning of the Active Directory domain structure and site topology is required. Exchange is directly dependent on the functioning of domain controllers and global catalog servers. When designing failover cluster configurations, you need to take into account a huge number of factors that affect the performance of the mail system. Because creating a system that does not have a single point of failure is not an easy task. And you need to understand that just a deployed Exchange Server 2016 cluster is not a panacea for all problems. So, for example, you can invest several thousand dollars in building an Exchange cluster, and your system will be disabled for a day by a burned-out switch or UPS. It is for these reasons that companies entrust the task of deploying Microsoft Exchange Server to system integrators. But here, too, one should not make a mistake, not all system integrators can deploy a corporate mail system based on Exchange Server with high quality. You should make sure that the system integrator is certified to perform this type of work, and also make sure that he has a portfolio of successfully completed similar projects.

LanKey is a certified system integrator, is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and has a Gold Messaging competency, which confirms our highest experience and professionalism in the implementation of Exchange Server 2016.
