Exchange Online (Plan 2)

Exchange Online (Plan 2) is Microsoft's premium cloud-based email, calendaring, and contacts service, specifically tailored for large organizations and enterprises with demanding storage, security, and compliance needs. This plan is distinguished by offering unlimited storage for user archives and a generous 100 GB primary mailbox. This allows users to store vast amounts of emails and related data without concerns about running out of space. Key features include advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP), which helps prevent sensitive information from leaving the organization. Additionally, it includes Unified Messaging with automatic speech-to-text functionality, streamlining the management of voice messages. Exchange Online (Plan 2) also supports retention and archiving policies, In-Place Hold and Litigation Hold for legal discovery, and an unlimited personal archive to meet stringent compliance requirements. Integration with Outlook for web (formerly Outlook Web App) and the Outlook client provides a consistent and productive user experience across various devices. The service can be deployed in hybrid scenarios, allowing organizations to manage both on-premises and cloud-based mailboxes simultaneously, facilitating a flexible transition to the cloud and ensuring business continuity.
