Exchange Online
What is Exchange Online?
Exchange Online is a Microsoft email service that relies on Exchange as a cloud solution. Operation and advanced support is done at Microsoft. Because the solution is both operated and owned by Microsoft itself, this solution is always up to date and always in the latest version. Microsoft promises 99.9% uptime on this service.
Is Exchange Online safe?
Yes, it is secured at Microsoft's high-security data centers, both against digital and physical penetration. Data is always stored in two locations. If one location has an outage or becomes inaccessible, traffic will automatically be routed to the next location. At the same moment, replication of the data to a third location also starts to ensure that the data again exists at two locations.
