Abstract: The Compaq ProLiant 3000 offers the best performance
and leading price/performance of any Intel-based or RISC-based
dual processor systems. To demonstrate Exchange Server 5.5
scalability on the Compaq ProLiant 3000 server, tests of user loads
from 1000 to 6500 simultaneous MAPI e-mail users were conducted
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. This performance brief
provides a basis for the number of users that can be supported when
deploying Microsoft Exchange Server on the ProLiant 3000 server.

Performance Results The tests were conducted using Microsoft’s Load Simulator tool. For each test, the Load Simulator Medium MAPI canonical profile was chosen. - Page 4 This document uses accepted industry-standard benchmarks to help illustrate the performance capabilities of the Compaq ProLiant servers. This document provides test results on server products as well as an overview of the test, results summary, and server configurations used to generate performance results.

Page 5: What The Benchmarks Do Not Reveal
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. First, consider whether benchmarks are performed on what can be referred to as customer deployable configurations. -
