Over 100 million Exchange users now?

HP is the world’s largest deployment of Exchange 2000

The need for a solid Windows 2000/Active Directory has slowed migration – perhaps 20% of customer base migrated today

Balanced systems are more important than the fastest systems

4-way processors are the current sweet spot

Increased Exchange scalability and robustness creates opportunities for server consolidation

Storage infrastructure is critical

64-bit Exchange?

Solutions are more important than basic hardware

SharePoint Portal Server

Based on modified version of the Exchange Store

Tremendously easy to deploy

Drives down cost of portals

Replacement for file shares and public folders

Small servers deliver big punches!

CAL requirement makes SharePoint a bad choice for external-facing deployments

SharePoint Team Services

The basis of online team collaboration at HP

Uses SQL or MSDE

Easy and fast to deploy (HP uses a version of a Microsoft tool for self-provisioning)

Available to anyone with Microsoft Office for FrontPage

October 7, 2002

SharePoint – Where Next?

Likely to see increased integration between SharePoint Team Services and Portal Server

Other third party integrations coming, such as Groove to SharePoint

Increased performance and scalability

Long term move to Yukon-based database

Development framework (C# etc.)

• Can be installed on many versions of Windows

A new version of the operating system that incorporates some basic services

• Windows .NET Server 2003

A new way of presenting services that can be consumed by other applications and services

Server applications that are based on the .NET framework

• Exchange .NET

What does .NET

really mean?

October 7, 2002

Microsoft moves away from the JET Store to use a common SQL base (Yukon) to build the true .NET version of Exchange

• One database, common features and development platform, less cost to Microsoft

• Better scalability and robustness

• No more MAPI

• ADO.NET and CDO.NET provide programmatic access

• XML is pervasive

Drive into ASP/ISP first, then enterprise

• Be the Hotmail platform

• Gradually add enterprise-style collaboration features

After a decade and two generations of software, Exchange is still going strong

The next generation poses some interesting challenges, especially as we evolve systems to take advantage of .NET technology

Exchange and SharePoint is a compelling combination
