Version 3.0 will also see improved integration with MOM (Microsoft Operations Manager), which Jamrich said will reduce cost of operations management in a hosted model.

In late 2006, the follow-on to Version 3.0, code-named Titan, will be available. Titan will further enhance the suite's multi-tenant architecture by making the Web server multi-tenant capable.

The English language version of 3.0 is available now; the Dutch, French, German and Russian versions will be available next month.
