Exchange 2003 and MaX Compression

Exchange 2003 and MaX Compression

Microsoft has improved the efficiency of client-server traffic between Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 through better data transfer mechanisms. This in-built client-to-server only compression cuts traffic volumes between Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 but does not affect previous versions or combinations of Exchange/Outlook.

C2C set up a test lab and confirmed that LAN traffic is reduced by Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003, but that no effect is made on the wider impact of large emails. Storage volumes, inter-server traffic, SMTP email, remote (OWA) users and other combinations of Exchange and Outlook versions do not benefit from this compression.

MaX Compression Enterprise benefits Exchange 2003 and beyond!

Our test lab showed that MaX Compression Enterprise further streamlines email between Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003, by an average 40%.

MaX Compression Enterprise additionally:

reduces storage volumes by an average 40-60%.
compresses inbound and outbound Internet email at the SMTP Gateway.
cuts traffic volumes between Exchange servers.
compresses email between previous versions of Exchange and Outlook.
aids remote and OWA users.

The tests took place in Feb 2003 with Exchange 2003 RC1. If you would like further information on the results please email sales@messagingsolutions.com.
