With the latest version of Exchange Server, small workgroups and large departments will enjoy the high-performance, central storage and management of task lists, appointments, contacts, emails, notices, and numerous other elements. The standard version of the software, designed as an internal and external interface, is specially tailored to meet small and medium-sized businesses' requirements.

Here, Microsoft has increased its system-based support of maximum usable memory from 192 GB to 256 GB compared to the 2016 version. The number of supported processes has doubled from 24 CPU cores to 48 CPU cores. In combination with SSD storage support as a cache, this means a huge performance boost and better user experience.

The redesigned calendar system is another new feature. This is based on the calendar sharing model tested in Office 365. Thanks to the “do not forward” feature and PowerShell cmdlets, administrators now have a more comprehensive range of options such as the “Remove-Calendar Events” and “Add-MailboxFolderPermission” functions for allocation designation rights.

In contrast to introducing numerous new features, some features have been omitted by Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Standard. These include FAST search, which the Bing search engine has now replaced. Search indices and results are now a fixed part of mailbox databases in the 2019 version. Microsoft has also ceased support for Unified Messaging and the software’s voicemail functions now work via cloud voicemail. This, in turn, requires Microsoft 365 or Skype for Business 2019 to work.

• Support of up to 48 processors and a maximum of 256 GB memory.
• Improved collaboration between employees, project teams and entire departments on mutual documents.

Coexistence of different Exchange Server versions Everyone looking to purchase Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Standard should know that the Redmond-based software company has applied the well-known "N - 2” principle. This means that Exchange Server 2019 cannot directly replace Exchange Server 2010.

However, Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 is not a practical option as a temporary solution since Microsoft's mainstream support ceased in June 2018.
