Abstract: The Compaq ProLiant 1600 is well suited as a Microsoft
Exchange Server deployment platform for small and medium-sized
organizations, and for satellite locations of larger organizations. It is
a high performance server with uptime features unmatched in its
class. Using Microsoft's Load Simulation utility, the new ProLiant
1600 with two 400 MHz Intel Pentium
user loads of 8000 simultaneous MAPI e-mail users at Compaq's
Microsoft Competency Center located in Redmond, Washington.
Microsoft Exchange Server has been the focal point for extensive
development and testing by both Microsoft and Compaq. Throughout
this activity, Compaq and Microsoft have worked to optimize
Microsoft Exchange Server performance on Compaq server products
to provide an optimal balance between performance, availability,
manageability, and cost

Compaq ProLiant 1600 The Compaq ProLiant 1600 6/400 is a high performance server for workgroup and remote-office applications with uptime features unmatched in its class. A state-of-the-art 400 MHz Pentium II processor with dual processing capability provides exceptional performance, while the hot-plug drives and optional hot-plug redundant power supply deliver increased uptime. -
Page 4: Performance Results
It is important to understand that benchmarks such as these are designed to give Exchange Server implementation planners baseline references for understanding the capabilities of hardware platforms from a single vendor such as Compaq or other competing hardware vendors. When interpreting these benchmarks, however, two things should be kept in mind. -
Page 5: Load Simulator
While RAID0 does provide the highest levels of disk subsystem performance, it fails to provide any protection against data loss. In addition, most vendors, including Compaq, conduct benchmarks for Microsoft Exchange Server that are single-server in nature. In the real-world of messaging, customer sites are usually multi-server and multi-site. -
Page 6: Balancing Scalability And Availability
For many corporations, messaging and collaboration have recently become mission critical. Unscheduled downtime for any server can result in a significant loss of productivity. To limit exposure to downtime, Exchange Server 5.5 and Compaq ProLiant Clusters provide high availability through Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS). When MSCS is deployed on Compaq ProLiant Clusters, enterprise-messaging customers can achieve scalability without sacrificing the reliability that is required in an enterprise environment. -
