  • Multi-server — Consolidation to single or single to multi-server expansion can be addressed
  • Windows Server Platforms — Any release applies (OEM, Standard, Enterprise)
  • SBS Platforms — May be Standard or Premium Edition on either endpoint, and even that may be changed as part of the project scope

(!) Exchange 2007 can be addressed in the project, but you must meet the unique product requirements to license and deploy it. Due to change in database format, you cannot Forklift an earlier version of Exchange Information Store to an Exchange 2007 server.
