Ready, set, ...wait, what?
You know you are adopting Office 365. Whether you are just wading in with a partial Exchange Online deployment, jumping right into the deep end with a full-cloud, everything Office 365 adoption or something in-between - the decision is made and you are moving forward as fast as you can. Before you take off running with any SAAS adoption you should consider key decisions you will need to make when implementing Exchange Online and other aspects of Office 365. Take a moment to review how you will approach the following topics addressed in this paper; they could impact your Office 365 role out "to do" list.
Performance planning
You'll likely reduce your Microsoft licensing costs with a move to O365 but you will increase your bandwidth requirements and the number of open Internet connections in addition to introducing new security requirements.
So, make sure to allocate budget to accommodate security requirements for O365. Too many companies have been blindsided by this requirement. A typical Exchange Online user will require six or more open Internet connections when operating the application and will generate a 200MB increase in Internet traffic. Are you ready to accommodate this increase in Internet traffic and number of simultaneous connections?
