Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Archiving: The Complementary Role of Third-Party Solutions

On April 15, 2009, Microsoft announced that Exchange 2010 will have built-in support for archiving. Though Microsoft has been slow to reveal details about the new offering, its announcement is shaking the archiving market and the adjacent markets for e-discovery and compliance.
