What client configurations are you thinking of supporting? We have a centralized architecture but line speeds are not fast enough to support online access - a word doc can take over a minute to stream down to some locations. Thus we have configured Outlook in offline mode, but this makes the use of public folders very painful since if the public folders are large and marked as available offline the ost file gets very large and is more likely to break. Can't see a good way around this apart from using Notes, which seems to cope with a centralized architecture and disconnected users much better :( . Anyone got any good ideas other than Exchange 2003? -----Original Message----- From: Slinger, Gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 July 2003 04:33 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Clustering... is it worth it? (Can't resist - it's a 4-node cluster, with a passive same-scale server as part of the mix <g>). Which is 4,000 per node... Sounding reasonable to me so far... Oh, and if anyone's wondering if it's "real world" or "Microsoft/HP playing" - yes, I'm seriously considering (and have the budget to back it up) using it as a deployment model for my environment (no, I don't have 16,000+ users, but the concept remains the same). -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 12:20 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Clustering... is it worth it? As you've read... No, I can't count. 16,000 users on a 7-node cluster, which is really a 5-node cluster. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fyodorov, Andrey Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 6:16 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Clustering... is it worth it? only 16,000 users? on an 8-node cluster? -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 8:11 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Clustering... is it worth it? But do consider revisiting this with 2003. With Microsoft running 16,000 users on an 8-node cluster now. Windows2003 and Exchange2003 of course. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Blackstone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 5:04 PM Subject: RE: Clustering... is it worth it? > That's pretty much the argument against clustering. > In fact, many folks will tell you that Exchange needs much more hand holding > in a cluster. > _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential to the intended recipient(s).
