Abstract: Compaq achieved record-breaking Exchange Server
scalability by achieving 15,000 MMB on a ProLiant 7000 server
equipped with four 400-MHz Intel Pentium II Xeon
Using Microsoft's Load Simulation utility, the ProLiant 7000 with
four 400-MHz processors was tested at Compaq's Microsoft
Competency Center in Redmond, Washington. The favorable results
of this testing demonstrate the superior performance capabilities of
four-processor servers based on the Intel Pentium II Xeon
processor as compared to eight-processor servers based on the Intel
Pentium Pro available from competitors.
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 not only provides world-class server platforms,
but also the experience necessary for the successful deployment of
messaging and collaborative applications
processors.

    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, two things should be kept in mind.
