Yesterday we announced worldwide availability of the new Microsoft Office 365 services for businesses, including the new Exchange Online and introducing Exchange Online Protection.

Since launching in 2011, Office 365 has become the fastest growing business in Microsoft history and we’re excited to be an important part of it. As we had mentioned in July, we have been hard at work building the new service to better prepare customers of all sizes for the future of communications and productivity including the following benefits:

  • Remain in control, online and on-premises: Exchange lets you tailor your solution based on your unique needs and ensures that your communications are always available, while you remain in control, on your own terms – online, on-premises or a hybrid of the two.
  • Do more, on any device: Exchange lets your users be more productive by helping them manage increasing volumes of communications across multiple devices and work together more effectively as teams.
  • Keep your organization safe: Use Exchange to protect business communication and sensitive information in order to meet internal and regulatory compliance.

Check out this video of Exchange team members who have been hard at work and why they want you to check out in the new Exchange:

You can see more videos here.

In the upcoming weeks, we’ll have blog posts addressing some cloud topics such as public folder migration and Exchange Online deployment so stay tuned.

We’re excited to deliver the power of new Exchange features and benefits to our Office 365 customers.

  • Enough with the camera! I want to like the new Exchange but with camera work as sloppy as this video I can only hope everything else is not so poorly done.

    I get trying to make it peppy and exciting but that is no excuse.

  • @Mohamed Gamal: Exchange Online is a cloud-based service. The Exchange Server 2013 trial link on that page is for Exchange 2013 RTM.

    Exchange 2013 CU1 will be released in 2013 Q1 (this quarter), as announced.

  • Is Exchange Online Protection only available for 365 customers?  We have Exchange on-prem but also subscribe to the FOPE service, when will we see changes?  I was told FOPE would become Exchange Online Protection.

  • As I can see from the above that for "Try the new Exchange online today" which gives ability to download of a 180 days trial version of the new Exchange ; the question is : is this copy for Exchange 2013 CU1 or it is just the RTM ?

  • Too bad you had to strip out all the useful on site features in order to promote your cloud. Using the new office is about as much fun as pulling teeth and we still can not integrate exchange 13 with our 10 service.
