Microsoft selected Unisys to manage this trial service based on the company’s deep expertise in developing solutions based on the Microsoft platform and its ability to manage reliable enterprise-class applications. The comprehensive vertical and virtual scalability attributes of the Unisys ES7000 server provide the foundation for the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 platform so enterprises can communicate and collaborate more securely and efficiently. Reliability is essential to the successful deployment of mission-critical solutions; Unisys ES7000 is one of the most reliable enterprise servers in the market.

“Microsoft is pleased to collaborate with Unisys to offer this free managed service for customers,” said Peter Boit, vice president for the Enterprise and Partner Group at Microsoft. “We hear from our enterprise customers they want technology solutions with built-in features to help keep their business secure, productive and moving forward. This free trial enables customers to test-drive the capabilities included in Exchange Server that address these key areas. By offering this trial with Unisys, we’re giving customers an opportunity to evaluate the new levels of security and mobility so they can have a firsthand account of how the technology can help their enterprise thrive.”



“Unisys is excited to work with Microsoft on expanding the communication and collaboration experience to enterprise organizations that are seeking increased productivity and business performance benefits from Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and the integration of unified messaging,” said Peter Tripp, vice president of Strategic Program Office, Global Outsourcing and Infrastructure Services at Unisys. “This is a great opportunity for Unisys to leverage our deep vertical telecom expertise while helping customers realize a unified communications and collaboration platform that offers greater security, scalability and flexibility. This trial is evidence of Unisys commitment to securing and delivering mission-critical information to clients that can result in a competitive advantage, help ensure secure business operations, and help reduce management costs.”

For enterprises today, e-mail continues to be the mission-critical communications tool that enables employees to produce the best results.



“Unisys is a great partner for Microsoft to team with to build and manage the Exchange Server 2007 trial service,” said Jeff Parker, CEO of Directions on Microsoft. “Unisys is a clear choice when considering the company’s ability to build bullet-proof computing infrastructures, develop unified messaging solutions and its leadership position in the design of 64-bit platforms with its ES7000 Server. Exchange Server 2007 is the first major upgrade to Microsoft’s e-mail platform in nearly four years. This is the cornerstone of Microsoft’s huge bet on unified communications and its scalable 64-bit application. Enterprise customers with a need for greater mobility, greater e-mail storage space and reduced IT management should take advantage of the free trial service to experience the benefits of Exchange Server 2007.”
