From Exchange to Office 365 series (2) about Office 365

There is always a gradual process for learning. Office 365 is an important public cloud service launched by Microsoft, microsoft is undoubtedly playing a very important role in its increasingly obvious cloud-first strategy. However, the promotion of 365 in China has not been very strong. Microsoft launched Office 365 as early as around 2011, but it was officially launched last year for various reasons in China, office 365 can be divided into two global versions:

Two Versions:

One is the international version of Office 365, with data centers distributed all over the world. In Asia, it should be in Hong Kong and Singapore.

The other is the Chinese version of Office 365, Which is handed over to 21 vianet. data centers are located in Beijing and Shanghai.

There are some minor differences in functions between the two versions. It is also very important that the login portals for these two versions are different. Please note that, because the data center is not interconnected, if the login address is incorrect, even if the account password is correct, the login fails. at the end of CN, Office 365 of international version ends. the end of COM, And the prefix of 21 vianet will have one more partner, the following is their login address:

21 vianet https://login.partner.microsoftonline.cn

International: http://login.microsoftonline.com

Office 365 contains:

If you want to learn about Office 365, you must first know what content it contains. 365 contains a lot of content. People who do not know it will think that it is the latest version of office software, the latest version of Office software is only part of Office 365. In Office 365, there are actually several Microsoft enterprise-level solutions, which can be listed below, mainly including

Exchange Online

SharePoint online

Lync online

Latest office proplus (purchase for Visio and project separately)

Yammer Enterprise Edition

After purchasing office 365, we can directly use these services provided by Microsoft, such as exchange online. Previously, we may need to deploy and maintain the Exchange Server within the company, in this case, high availability, Server Load balancer, and Remote Disaster Tolerance must also be taken into account. Once the system goes down, it is undoubtedly a disaster for enterprises, for large enterprises, these are all sad and hurtful, but Microsoft Office 365 will take these into account and do it well for us. All we have to do is pay and use the services provided by Microsoft, if you want a service of any level, you will be charged for the service of any level, and Microsoft will also provide high-guarantee service quality. If the downtime exceeds long, Microsoft will also provide corresponding compensation, this is a commitment made by Microsoft. For example, for the office client software, the previous Purchase of the Office was a one-time payment and used for life, but sometimes there were a large number of computers at home, or there was a large flow of staff in the company, buying more office software is undoubtedly a waste of money. The way Office 365 was bought is completely different from the previous one. It was rented, how many people there were, if you don't want to use it after expiration, you can stop paying for it. Like our monthly rent, you can activate more if you want to use it, if you don't want to use it, you can activate or even stop the service. This is much more flexible than before. This is a major benefit compared with Office 365, that is, pay-as-you-go.

Learn Office 365

 Office 365 can be divided into two directions: one is the direction of common users and the other is the system administrator. These two directions are completely different, if you are a common user, you can get started directly after Office 365 if you are familiar with lync, Sharepoint, outlook, and so on, these are similar to the servers deployed locally. However, if you are a system administrator, you will need to learn more things, because it also involves the migration from exchange to Office 365, or even hybrid deployment, as well as the integration of lync and Sharepoint, the content is still very complicated, because it involves three very important enterprise-level platforms of Microsoft: Exchange, lync and Sharepoint, so it is still difficult to learn 365, it is generally recommended that you start with exchange because it is the most demanding for enterprises. Recently, many of them need to migrate data from exchange, notes, 126, and other platforms to Office 365.

Finally, let's talk about our learning plan. In this series of learning, we mainly learn the local deployment of exchange and the process of migrating to Office 365, lync and SharePoint will be mentioned separately if they have the opportunity in the future.
