Exchange Server requires a Windows platform.  You can either set up a 
box running Windows Server and Exchange, which can be fairly pricy once 
you add up the costs of the base server and then the Microsoft 
licensing.  Alternatively, you can subscribe to "hosted Exchange" which 
will typically involve a monthly fee per user.

Another alternative you have is to keep them on your IMAP server and add 
on a 3rd party calender.  We have a customer with significant 
infrastructure in our datacenter that provides such a service.  You may 
be interested in looking into it:  It's called Office Calendar.
