What is Exchange Online? Exchange Online is available as part of an
Office 365 plan and as a standalone service. Microsoft offers a
variety of Office 365 plans that include access to Office Web Apps,
the full desktop versions of Office, or both as well as access to
Exchange Online. If you don't want to use Office 365, Microsoft
also offers plans specifically for Exchange Online. In Exchange
Online, email addresses, distribution groups, and other directory
resources are stored in the directory database provided by Active
Directory for Windows Azure. Windows Azure is Microsoft's
cloud-based server operating system. Exchange Online fully supports
the Windows security model and by default relies on this security
mechanism to control access to directory resources. As you get
started with Exchange Online, it's important to keep in mind that
available features and options can change over time. Microsoft
releases cumulative updates for Exchange on a fixed schedule and
applies these cumulative updates to their hosted Exchange servers.
This Fast Start guide begins by showing you the basics of Exchange
Online, Office 365 and Windows Azure and then builds on that
knowledge to show you how to work with these services using both
the graphical tools and Windows PowerShell.
