Microsoft Direct Push TechnologyMicrosoft Direct Push Technology requires two essential components: An enterprise mail server running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2, and mobile devices running Windows Mobile with Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP). Instant delivery With the two components installed, Exchange Server uses IP-based notifications to instantly deliver e-mail, contacts, calendars and tasks updates to mobile devices the moment information arrives in your server. Because Microsoft ActiveSync tightly integrates your Windows Mobile-enabled devices with Exchange Server, your organization doesn't need to deploy a middleware solution or require a network operations center to relay data.
Optimized network usage Microsoft Direct Push Technology is a more efficient synchronization method because data is only exchanged when there are updates. Coupled with Microsoft' new GZIP data compression, your organization' network usage is optimized for sending and receiving information. Improved security and capabilities Besides Microsoft Direct Push Technology, Windows Mobile MSFP and Exchange Server Service Pack 2 give you improved mobile e-mail capabilities. This include enhanced security with Remote Wipe and Global Address List Lookup. Please note: Connectivity and synchronization may require separately purchased equipment and/or wireless products (e.g. WiFi card, network software, server hardware, and/or redirector software). Service plans are required for Internet, WiFi, and phone access. Features and performance may vary depending on service provider and are subject to network limitations. See device manufacturer, service provider and/or corporate IT department for details. Microsoft Direct Push Technology and Remote Wipe feature require Windows Mobile 5.0 with Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) and Windows Small Business Server 2003 with Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2.
