My Choice software did their best

onitoring email correspondence within the organization is essential for enforcing companys content policies. MailDetective helps investigate leaks of sensitive information and allows preventing serious misconduct by detecting policy violations at an early stage. The security of the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter License is amazing, and though the delivery was a bit slow and the learning curve high, my choice software did their best to fix that.

Many Cool Features

Increased management of callendars, emails and licenses among the company peers and employees. Another feature of the new architecture is that you can move a mailbox between servers in the background, without loss of service. This is possible because the Client Access server now handles all client operations, whereas previously some clients talked directly to the mailbox store. Microsoft also claims to have optimised the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter License database engine, with more efficient schema and fewer input/output operations (IOPS).

Powerful business features that work on the Web.

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter License has impressive collaboration functions. Users can get every feature in Word, Excel and all the rest of the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter License software portfolio, plus the means to collaborate on that content in real time. Assuming you set it up properly, users can make comments on documents in their own handwriting, host a chat about a spreadsheet, and turn an email thread into a real-time video meeting. There are also impressive content management tools, revision management systems, and even tools that let a business decide how files should be named.
