Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is the next version of Microsoft Exchange Server, the industry's leading server for e-mail, calendaring and unified messaging. A key technology in Microsoft's strategy for unified communications, which will put people at the center of communications, Exchange Server 2007 has been designed specifically to meet the challenges and address the messaging needs of today's businesses.

Exchange Server 2007 Enterprise Edition is designed for large enterprise corporations, and enables creation of multiple storage groups and databases.

The PRESENTA board uses the latest advances in digital electromagnetic sensing technology. A small magnetic field is created over the surface of the board, which is activated by holding the specially designed pen in proximity of the board's surface. The pen reflects a signal back to the board, which is then sent to the computer as an X/Y co-ordinate.

This enables the computer to understand where on the surface of the board the user is pointing, thus tracking pen movement just like a mouse. Use of this digital technology enables fast, stable and accurate tracking.

To facilitate this technology, a special pen has been designed, which is ergonomic, lightweight and cordless. Based on the Rotring Artpen, the pen has been designed to offer comfort and balance to the user, giving an intuitive, natural feel to every presentation. The Pen is battery-free so there is no need to worry about charging or replacing batteries. It supports both left and right mouse clicks and, used in conjunction with Px software, enables users to have full control over their presentation including multiple pen color selection, from a single device. Two pens are supplied with each board and additional ones may be purchased thereafter.

To enable the PRESENTA board to be used over a long period in harsh environments, it is manufactured with a tough Formica surface. The absence of a soft membrane type surface means that it is not touch sensitive and so cannot be used with the finger (or any other object). The boards surface is matt based and is ideal for use with digital projectors. This surface prevents projector "hot spots" and screen glare from reflecting back towards the audience.

The PRESENTA board can be mounted on the wall or, for added mobility, onto the easy-to-assemble stand. Once positioned, getting started with the PRESENTA board is simple.

As competition grows for customers in the marketplace, enterprises are relying on technology to help them differentiate their business. Many of the applications used to provide services and increase productivity require reliable, secure communications. Network resiliency, security of data, and application-driven performance are the mainstays of a network built to provide services.

Aggregating network traffic from wiring closets and servers provides increased network performance and aids in troubleshooting. By aggregating wiring closet traffic into a hardware-based routing switch, inter-network traffic can be routed at wire-speed, ensuring application response times, required by bandwidth-sensitive applications, are met. Additionally, fewer high-speed router ports are required since high-speed wiring closet links are consolidated before connecting to the WAN router. Troubleshooting is made easier by providing clear distinctions for traffic segmentation.

The Passport 1600 series is a high-performance fixed port Layer 3 solution that provides the resilience, performance, and security required by today's application and competition-driven enterprise networks.

Resiliency delivers maximum availability critical for bandwidth-sensitive and revenue-generating applications. Application performance decreases the chance that data will be dropped when traffic load increases on the switch. Security features provide added protection for switch configuration data, while packet filtering helps secure and segment sensitive traffic or network access.
