Exchange Server 2010 hosting guidance

Because the on-premises version of Exchange Server 2010 is built to enable all users on the platform to collaborate easily, creating boundaries between tenants challenges some of the core principles used in the design of the product. However, Exchange Server 2010 SP2 can be configured in a way that appears to provide multi-tenant support, though doing this in a supportable manner can be challenging.

The Exchange Server 2010 Hosting Guidance document provides information about the challenges and problems that must be solved in order to successfully configure a multi-tenant, hosted solution, and offers advice and direction to ensure that the Exchange environment that you build can be supported by Microsoft.

The Exchange 2010 SP2 Multi-Tenant Scale Guidance document provides high-level guidance for properly scaling and deploying a multi-tenant Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2 solution.
