Hi, Is anyone able to give me a definitive answer on the availability of the EHA service, please? Our MS partner initially said that it had been discontinued, then that it was available only as part of the O365 bundle, then that it was available as a standalone product (which turned-out to be Exchange Online Archiving - something rather different) and now seems totally confused. The background is that we have several clients with FOPE filtering and would now like to add the archiving & continuity service to it. We also have a couple of clients who are considering moving from a rival filtering service to FOPE+EHA. In both cases there is a requirement to retain the on-premises Exchange servers rather than move to fully hosted Exchange, hence the unsuitability of the O365 suite. For the avoidance of any confusion, it is this (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg191799.aspx) product that we have used previously and wish to utilise elsewhere. Thanks in advance. Andy

Yes it's still avaliable as a stand alone service - http://www.microsoft.com/online/products.aspx You can combine this with your on-premise deployment. Sukh

Thanks, but that link is for Exchange Online Archiving, which is a different product to Exchange Hosted Archiving.

What is that you are trying to achieve? Do you want archiving on site or in the cloud with exchange on-premise And have you seen the differecnes between both online and hosted? Sukh

Exchange on-premises, archiving in the cloud. Yes, I'm aware of the differences - we use both products already and both are good for different reasons. EHA is what we need for Exchange <2010 sites requiring archiving and the EHC (continuity) service with which it was merged a couple of years ago.
