I am an example of this. We have Enterprise now as we got it before the
storage limit increase. We will be purchasing Standard now.

In my experience, customers for Enterprise edition fall in to two
groups...
1. Those buying it for clustering.
2. Those buying it for capacity.
Of the two, capacity is more common than clustering - particularly
when
we still had the 16gb limit.
Those that are buying Enterprise edition for clustering will continue
to buy it for clustering.
Those who want the additional capacity, will simply stick to Standard
edition which now offers no limits.
With the additional features of Backup Exec 11 looking like it
provides
off-server log shipping, you can get some of the additional
replication
features of Enterprise edition without paying the extra.
While there is still a market for the Enterprise edition, it is not as
large as it was, because those purchasing it purely to get additional
capacity will be reduced.
Simon.

You think the market for enterprise edition is limited? So you think
most people will be happy with LCR vs. SCC or CCR?
I'd be interested to know if that's what you're hearing at present.

The Enterprise CAL is in addition to the standard CAL.
You also realise that the Exchange 2007 CAL does not include any
license for Outlook? Outlook must be licensed separately.
As the standard edition of Exchange 2007 is almost identical in spec
to
enterprise edition of Exchange 2003, I can see that most people will
be
using the standard edition. The market for the enterprise edition is
limited.
However I am advising my clients not to even think about deploying
Exchange 2007 for at least three months, and preferably longer. Unless
they have a burning need for a feature in the new version they should
hold off. Even for first time Exchange deployments I am recommending
that they purchase Exchange 2007 now but ask for an Exchange 2003
media
kit and use downgrade rights.
Due to the significant changes in the way that Exchange 2007 works
compared to the previous two versions, there are almost no third party
utilities available that are compatible with this version. I am also
concerned about the end user experience for any new to Exchange people
when trying to use a new version that not many people (compared to
Exchange 2003) are familiar with.
The other reason I am making that recommendation is what I call the
"run over by a bus" issue. If you deploy Exchange 2007 now or very
shortly and then something happens to you, your employer will struggle
to find anyone else who can manage and support it. You don't have that
problem with Exchange 2000/2003.
Give the Exchange community some time to get to grips with it, the
books and training courses to become available and for the general
best practises with this version to emerge. It will not take long, I
suspect
by Easter there will be lots of resources available.
Simon.

Putting together our Exchange 2007 request for quote and wanted to
gather the opinions of the masses here on which direction to take.
1100 Mailboxes with half on OWA and half on Outlook. Currently 2
servers in a FE/BE setup. I do not see the need for us to get the
Enterprise version of the server. Even if I split up to multiple
backends which
we
probably will do.
And reading the CAL info I come away with just getting the standard
CAL
for now and if we need the Ent CAL bells and whistles we have wasted
no
money buying them later as you still need the standard CAL anyway.
Correct?
Going a bit off topic, has anyone contacted Trend to see what their
plans are for Exch. 2007 Scanmail. Patch the existing or a new
version?
If no one knows I will contact them and report back.
Am I missing anything or any thoughts?
