Hi,
I am new to Exchange Server and I have a question, first I'll start with what I will be getting - hardware:
Compaq ML 350
1 Gig RAM
3 36 Gig SCSI HD
532 Smart Array controller (Raid 5)
Windows 2K server + Exchange 2K
My question:
1. Will the above hardware support 35 users if I give each user 500 Meg mailboxes - I know they are HUGE but I will be reducing that number in time as I clean out their old files (some users have 1 Gig pst files right now!!).
I'm just not sure how much space I get to keep with a RAID 5 setup and I know there are other storage requirements with Exchange other than just Mailboxes.
Any help would be great (I have tried the Compaq sizer but they don't help me much).
Thanks in advance,
New Guy
