Hi All
Sorry for cross-posting but this falls into a few different areas
Picked up a project for an R&D division - mix of engineers, techs and academics.
Initial pilot's about 1100 users. Eventually over 4000 users if the pilot works well.
They're looking at going EMC/IBM but I'd like to look at HP gear as I like HP servers.
So I guess what I need are product options for:
- A blade chassis for the front end serves
(basically web servers)
- A couple of more highly speced servers that
are cluster friendly for the mailbox servers.
Need 64Bit coz we'll have to do the exchange 2007 migration
- A SAN to put the Databases on which I can
incorporate into the final solution.
So if you could give me some quick links or product names and opinions (what to go with/what to stay clear of) I'll do much happy RTFM. Thanks
