Ross,
Great Article and a good technical webcast. I like the part in the webcast when you stated that your DBs are moving to SQL, loads of the non technies clapped and I went WT.... lol
But seriously, looking forward to test driving in Azure later this year, once available.
Some of this things that stood out and super cool:
* Database failovers times are reduced by 33% when compared to Exchange Server 2013!
* Reduced bandwidth requirements between the active copy and a passive copy by 40%
* The real cool aka smooth upgrade path from 2013
* No more MAPI/CDO, about time, so old school :)
* Layer 7 / no session affinity
Although a die hard fan of Office 365 and Azure. This will be great news for all those onprep techs, still worried about the cloud or still trying to figure out what is best for their particular setup.
Thanks Again !!
