Microsoft is pushing mobility and security additions on its updated hosted messaging and collaboration suite, launched Monday.

The updated suite, Microsoft Solution for Hosted Messaging and Collaboration version 3.5, is targeted at small- to medium-sized businesses that want enterprise-grade applications but don't have the resources to maintain the applications themselves.

Hosted by service providers, the suite offers online versions of Exchange Server 2003, Live Communication Server 2005 and SharePoint Services. Version 3 was launched in January.
