It is customary to implement Microsoft Exchange 2003 Standard Edition for networks.  This software allows companies to share contacts, calendars, e-mail, and set up public folders and other items.  This edition is usually more than adequate for the typical workplace.  However, this version has a capacity of 75GB.  This means that the total size for all of the e-mail accounts cannot be over 75GB.  If it goes over this level, then e-mails will cease to be sent and received.

If you need more than this 75GB database, as some of our New York Computer Help customers require, then you can make the upgrade to Exchange Standard 2003 Enterprise Edition.  This version upgrades the database capacity to 16TB.  This is essentially provides an open cap since 16TB is a smurfload of storage.  Further, it it easy on a technical support level to break up groups, offices, and organizational structures with the Enterprise Edition.

The Enterprise version is a great way to expand with a growing organization.  The cost is approximately $3,750, but is worth it due its one-time fee for unlimited e-mail storage.
