WHAT WE TESTED
To test the configuration’s mail server performance, we used the Microsoft Load
Generator 2010 (LoadGen) benchmark, which performs tasks to simulate a standard
user generating mail activity. We simulated 2,000 users for each bare-metal instance or
VM, and used the following settings:
Mailbox Profile: 100MB mailboxes
Action Profile: Average
Client Type: Outlook 2007 Cached
