Microsoft Exchange 2010 on Dell Systems: Simple Distributed Configurations
15
5,000 Mailboxes, up to 5GB each, on PowerEdge R720xd with
PowerVault MD1200
This reference architecture utilizes the Multi-role server and storage ―bricks‖ with internal and
external storage. It has been sized to provide mailbox sizes of up to 5GB each. The Mailbox IO profile
is sized for up to 150 messages per mailbox per day with a 20% IO headroom to accommodate up to
0.18 IOPs per mailbox. This solution delivers high availability using Exchange 2010 mailbox resiliency
with a two copy Database Availability Group (DAG). Both the active and passive copies are local. This
solution does not offer site resiliency.
