Securing Microsoft Exchange 2010

There are many reasons why now is the right time to make the move to Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, including a host of administration and security improvements. However, as with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Exchange 2010 requires SSL certificates to ensure the security of all connections to the email server.

Organisations are beginning to use Hadoop as a dumping ground for all kinds of data because it is inexpensive and doesn’t require a schema on write. Such storage is often referred to as a Hadoop “data lake.” On the flip side, the Hadoop/MapReduce engine is not optimised for the iterative processing that analytics often requires. It is best suited to batch processing.
