Microsoft will only issue a 64bit version of Exhange 12
By admin | November 16, 2005
Microsoft will only issue a 64bit version of Exhange 12. True, and yes hard to believe. Or not, depending which side of the fence you sit on.
But indeed, it is true. At this moment, IT Directors and managers accross the globe are weeping when they add up the receipts of their now redundant Dual Xeon Exchange 2003 servers. Within 3 years of Exhange 2003 being released, not only will you need to pay more to upgrade your software, but you’ve also gotta complemetely change your harware architecture too.
When you consider that a Xeon power supply alone starts from £110, you know you’re going to have quite a few high spec servers rendered useless within seconds. Welcome to the Cockroach Motel. You can check in, but you can’t check out.
