Microsoft has released an important new paper on performance for Exchange Online migration. The paper has consolidated useful information related to planning for and managing timelines for migrations based on the migration scenario. There are some real world examples as well as key issues to consider provided in detail that I have not found elsewhere. While not a comprehensive treatment, as the issue of bandwidth is not addressed directly, it has solid advice has useful details on performance issues related to moving mail to Exchange Online.

Office 365 is Microsoft’s premier cloud service and is now available for purchase. This site has important information intended to surface and simplify useful information that is often buried in marketing jargon and bulleted lists of features.

If you’re new to the technology, check out What is the Cloud, and What is Office 365? If you’re trying to make a purchasing decision, read The E plans Explained and What You Must Know About the P1 (Small business plan). Even those who are experienced with cloud services should read What is Office Professional  Plus to understand the features as well as the limitations of this new service. BPOS subscribers will find useful information in the article BPOS to Office 365.

For technical details, the Office 365 Resource page  provides one stop shopping for key Office 365 resources. Continuously updated, you will find links to training, service descriptions, deployment guides and other indispensible Office 365 content.
