With Microsoft bringing the curtains down on its mainstream support for Windows Exchange 2003 (its so-called 'End of Life'), it's fair to suggest IT managers across the land are collectively sighing at the prospect of having to invest in upgrading to new hardware – and all that that entails. Such an upgrade is no simple task: for a company with 20 employees this is a good week's work for the IT manager to implement.
Explaining this to the Finance Director or CEO isn't easy work either: IT procurement has to work on the assumption that upgrades are necessary every three years, so investing in hardware that chimes with how a company expands or contracts often comes down to guesswork.

Of course, it doesn't have to be like this. There is a simple solution to the problems of implementation, cost and scalability. Lumison's private cloud infrastructure means that a company can have a working exchange platform up and running within 30minutes – and one that can grow on-demand according to the business' needs. And because this is a hosted service within the private cloud, security is not a concern.
