What Is Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Enterprise?

Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Enterprise is an on-premises messaging and collaboration server designed for larger organizations that need advanced scalability, high availability, and robust compliance features. You host business email, shared calendars, contacts, and tasks on your own Windows Server infrastructure, keeping full control over security, data residency, and regulatory policies while users connect via Outlook, Outlook on the web, and mobile devices.

This Enterprise edition is ideal when you need more mailbox databases per server, database availability groups (DAGs) for continuous service, and stronger resilience against outages. If you run a smaller environment with fewer databases, you can consider Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Standard or compare all available options in our Microsoft Exchange 2016 Server licenses category.
