Exchange Deployment Tools
Server Consolidation (Redmond)
Exchange 5.5
35 4-proc servers
 Backup to tape
 Offline restore 8
hours
800-1000 users/server
 50MB per user
Exchange 2000
10 8-proc servers +
SAN
 Backup to disk
 Online restore
 1-2 hours per
database
3500 users/server
 100MB per user
75 Sites
Exchange 2003
Windows Server
2003 & Outlook 2003

Server Consolidation

Server Consolidation for Exchange
2003 similar to Exchange 2000



Exchange 5.5 customers will see similar
consolidation opportunities for Exchange
2000/2003 (using Outlook 2000/2002/2003)
Exchange 2000 customers will not see
additional server consolidation
improvements using Exchange 2003
Additional Server Consolidation possible
if using OWA
Site / Network Consolidation

Site Consolidation for Exchange 5.5 & 2000
customers possibilities:


If using Outlook 2000/2002, no site consolidation
opportunity
If using Outlook 2003, it depends on:



size of organization, Public Folder and Free Busy
usage, and Outlook 2003 features enabled/disabled
(Cached Mode, OAB size, drizzle mode)
Site consolidation possible using all OWA clients
(using GZip)
Network bandwidth reduction possible using
Outlook 2003 Cached Exchange Mode




Assume approx 30-40% network savings
End-users are shielded from network outages
End-users perform local searches faster than
previous clients
RPC/HTTP removes requirement for RAS/VPN
overhead
