Abstract: In a demonstration of Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
scalability, the ProLiant 1850R with dual Intel Pentium
processors was tested with user loads of 8000 simultaneous MAPI e-
mail users. The new ProLiant 1850R has been designed for all
businesses that require a high performance, space-efficient rack-
mount solution.
Compaq enables a confident deployment and management of
Microsoft Exchange Server on their products by conducting
extensive integration engineering and capacity planning 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 also provides the experience
necessary for the successful deployments of messaging and
collaborative applications.

  • Page 4 It is important to understand that benchmarks such as these are designed to give Microsoft 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.

    While it is significant that the ProLiant 1850R server can successfully scale to 8,000 medium MAPI e-mail users in a single site and single server benchmark exercise, Compaq does not recommend deploying 8,000 users on this configuration. Compaq recommends careful evaluation of all issues involved in real-world Exchange Server deployments such as management, administration, and disaster recovery.
  • Page 6 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, Microsoft 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.
