Today I was sorting my browser bookmarks as they reached very high in numbers and luckily found three consecutive bookmarks I made for this topic last year and opened each one of those and started to read and got a clear refreshment on the great features that Exchange Server 2013 has brought to us in terms of Storage, High Availability and Site Resilience. and I had forgotten certain cool things in the course of time as I involved in other technologies and it's good that I got a chance to review them today to get back on track.


Enough of my story, These articles that I mention above are the rich resources to learn the new enhancements that is introduced with Exchange Server 2013 and every Admin should know all these features and how it works, what benefits we get out of it, what is required from our end to make this features work etc. I read these topics when Exchange Server 2013 was introduced and amazed over the product and started to read more and explore and I wanted the share the same to my readers to join along with me in the journey.


Let's get in to the Topic, to learn more on any Exchange related to Topic we rely on TechNet and this post is from the same person who is responsible for what you read on this topic from TechNet, I believe you would have already guessed who it is, Yes, its none other than our Scott Schnoll from Microsoft and taken from his official blog "Is This Thing On?"
