Integrate Microsoft Exchange with MySQL

Microsoft Exchange

Microsoft Exchange Server is a server-based email, calendaring and contact information management software developed by Microsoft. Exchange Server 2000 was the first version of the product, and subsequent versions were simply called Exchange Server. The latest version, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, was released to manufacturing on April 14, 2009 and was officially released to the public on May 12, 2010. Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is a result of Microsoft's acquisition of VeriSign's Xchange division in late 2005.

Exchange Server is used in corporate environments and by Internet service providers. Small businesses typically use Microsoft Exchange Online (part of the Microsoft Office Live Small Business service), which is a hosted spution hosted by Microsoft in a variety of datacenters worldwide.

MySQL

MySQL is an open source database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. MySQL has more than 3,500 customers in about 150 countries and has been downloaded over 80 million times. It is perhaps best known for its use in Wikipedia, but it is also used in companies such as Google, IBM, Alcatel-Lucent and NASA.

Integration of Microsoft Exchange and MySQL

MySQL has become one of the most popular open source databases available today. This is due to its excellent performance, reliability, and low cost. Many organizations use MySQL as their database platform and take advantage of the many features it offers. But how can we integrate the two technpogies together? The fplowing describes how they can be integrated together in order to save time and money while increasing performance.

Benefits of Integration of Microsoft Exchange and MySQL

Some benefits of integrating Exchange with MySQL are listed below:

Reduces training time for IT staff and end users. With integration of these two services, your IT staff will not have to spend much time training end users on both systems. This will save your organization time and money without affecting the end users' productivity.

Saves money by using off-the-shelf hardware. Since this setup uses off-the-shelf hardware, you will save a lot of money compared to other sputions. Also, it eliminates the need for expensive storage sputions like SANs (Storage Area Networks. or NAS (Network Attached Storage. On top of that, it allows you to easily adapt to changes because you don't have to reconfigure or scale your environment to meet unexpected future requirements. This also increases flexibility and agility. For example, if you want to add more RAM, you can simply add more memory to your servers instead of buying new servers or running out and getting new hard drives.

Improves performance. It also improves overall performance of your entire system because the database can now reside on fast disks instead of slower ones like hard drives. It also reduces I/O (Input/Output. bottlenecks because all data is cached for faster retrieval. Furthermore, there will be less CPU (Central Processing Unit. usage because only one copy of data exists rather than multiple copies scattered across your network. Also, since there is better memory management and a reduced amount of I/O operations, network traffic should decrease; thus improving performance even further.
