<p>Dell announced this week an update to its Microsoft Exchange migration tool will arrive later this month.</p><p>The new Dell Quest Migration Manager for Exchange product runs on the customer's premises and features the possibility of carrying out single-step migrations. The "single-step" part refers to a claim by Dell that IT shops won't need to perform upgrades from older Exchange versions before moving to a newer solution, such as Exchange 2013 or Exchange Online offered through Microsoft's Office 365 (Wave 15) services.</p><p>Migration Manager comes in two parts that have been updated: Migration Manager for Exchange and Migration Manager for Active Directory. Migration Manager for Exchange can be used to move from Exchange versions 2000 to 2010 to Exchange 2013 and is capable of moving public folders, according to Dell. The tool also can move Exchange users to Office 365 while maintaining user access to e-mail (a feat referred to as "coexistence").</p><p>Various architectures are supported. The tool supports moves within a computing environment, moves from the customer's premises to the cloud, or hybrid scenarios, Dell claims.</p><p><a href="http://mcpmag.com/articles/2013/04/24/exchange-migration-manage.aspx">Keep reading...</a></p>
