ANSWER: Message Throttling. This built-in function automatically protects the Exchange Server from “excessive” usage by slowing down client or other server connections. A frequent usage of auto-throttling is inbound mail speed. Microsoft TechNet Library on Message Throttling – Click HERE.

ANSWER: Amplication & Isolation. Amplication can incur issues when automated “fixes” and larger failures can make recovering more difficult (e.g. try rebooting all your iSCSI booted hosts at the same time). Isolation since a user/company can cause problems for other companies sharing the service (e.g. a DoS can effect thousands of companies). Normally, this would not be an issue with companies with separate hardware & environments. Exchange General Manager Perry Clarke explains that Microsoft is aware and has been working to improve Exchange to be the best solution for the last few years.
