Testing
Hardware and Software Configuration
The storage used in the tests includes:
• Single StorTrends 3200i – iSCSI Array with a single storage controller and
an integrated 16 disk-array enclosure (DAE.
Sizing and configuring storage for use with Microsoft Exchange Server is a
complicated process, driven by many variables and factors, which vary from
one organization to another.
The sizing method described in this ESRP submission is known as the
"building block," which is used to simplify sizing and configuration when using
a low number of disks to ensure the highest performance while remaining
fault tolerant. This unit of measure (or building block) is designed to be
scalable and expandable into larger building block deployments - based on
customer I/O and latency requirements.
The following configuration tables and diagram illustrates the building block
layout for this ESRP submission.
