“When 2021 came and went without the promised new version of Exchange Server, customers feared they would be forced to migrate to the cloud,” stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. “Now however, Microsoft has released a new roadmap that includes Exchange Server vNext.”
Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Exchange Server vNext Means On-Premises Exchange Customers Not Forced to the Cloud.”
“When the Hafnium Hack hit on-premises Exchange Servers, Microsoft had to abandon plans for Exchange Server 2021. While Microsoft urged customers to migrate to Exchange Online instead, the cloud remains a no go for many organizations. With earlier versions of Exchange Server due to lose support soon, that left companies in a bind.”

In-place Upgrades May Reduce Upgrade Challenges
“In the past, upgrades to the newest version of Microsoft Exchange have proved problematic. Customers often had to purchase new equipment to meet the hardware requirements of the new version. Additionally, they needed to move mailboxes from one version to the next.”
Upgrade to Exchange 2019 Now
“For customers that cannot migrate to the cloud, Microsoft strongly recommends moving to Exchange 2019 now in preparation for vNext. Customers already on Exchange Server 2019 should keep their servers up to date to benefit from fixes and enhancements.”
“Exchange Server 2019 offers numerous advantages over previous versions. For instance, it includes a modern architecture, compliance features, integration with OneDrive and SharePoint Server and improved security.”
