Introduction to Exchange Hosted Services for Message Filtering, Archive, Continuity and Encryption.

Track :

SYS

Session code :

SYS131

Synopsis :

Electronic messaging is mission critical, but it remains vulnerable to a growing array of threats. Viruses, worms, denial-of-service attacks, spam and the need to satisfy a growing set of government regulations and legal actions all make effective messaging security and management increasingly difficult.
Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services for messaging security and management is composed of four distinct services that help organizations protect themselves from e-mail-borne malware, satisfy retention requirements for compliance, encrypt data to preserve confidentiality, and preserve access to e-mail during and after emergency situations. The services are deployed over the Internet using a “Software as a Service” model which helps minimize additional capital investment, free up IT resources to focus on other value-producing initiatives, and mitigate messaging risks before they reach the corporate firewall.

Asset Inventory Services reconciles raw inventory data with a knowledge-base of over 460,000 titles and growing so the inventory data can be transformed into easily used business information This session also provides a technical introduction to DaRT and DEM; demonstrates DaRT technology; and covers how DaRT and DEM tie into the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset provides powerful, intuitive tools that help administrators recover PCs that have become unusable and easily identify root causes of system and network issues. If a desktop catastrophe does occur, it helps you quickly repair unbootable or locked-out systems, restore lost files without the timely process of using backup or reinstalling the operating system, and much more. System Center Desktop Error Monitoring provides IT with awareness and insight into the application and operating system crashes that would otherwise go unreported. Built off of Ops Mgr 2007 technology, DEM includes detailed reporting tools which allow IT organizations to monitor the health of their desktop environment.
