Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Is Available for Download

Written by Misha Hanin

Microsoft released the SP1 beta at Tech Ed North America in June. Since then, almost 500,000 SP1 mailboxes have gone into production in Technology Adoption Program (TAP) customer environments.

And now Microsoft has announced the availability of Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1, ready for download here.

What’s new and VERY important:

Support for Multi-Tenancy

With Exchange 2010 2010 SP1 built-in multi-tenant support, service providers that use Service Provider Licensing Agreement (SPLA) no longer need a solution such as Microsoft Hosted Messaging and Collaboration version 4.5 to host multiple organizations. Multi-tenant support provides the core feature set of Microsoft Exchange that can be deployed to multiple customers in a single installation and provides ease of management and flexibility of provided features to end-users.

The hosting solution available for Exchange 2010 SP1 includes most of the features and functionality available in Exchange 2010 SP1 Enterprise deployments, but also includes features and functionality that allow you to create and manage tenant organizations.

The multi-tenant capabilities in Exchange 2010 SP1 form part of the suite of multi-tenant capable products that will replace the Hosted Messaging and Collaboration version 4.5 solution.

For more information, see Multi-Tenant Support.
