Try to get one that could hold at least 7 drives, then you would be able to build three separate RAID volumes (RAID1, RAID1, RAID5) for an optimal disk IO ***. The size of the hard drives? - well, estimate how much disk space your users will need and calculate accordingly, sorry I can't predict that for you. ***I have seen places that do Exchange on two RAID1 volumes or even one RAID1 (or RAID5) volume, some don't even do RAID at all. Usually such places end up having bad luck and start badmouthing Exchange. In some cases they decide to switch to Lotus Notes, but I suspect their bad luck follows them there too. -----Original Message----- From: Vas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 5:41 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: New Server Hi All Just a quick question, we currently have Exchange 5.5 on a dinosaur of a server. We have just started to use scripts and its forever hanging. We want to upgrade to Exchange 2000 and a new server. What spec server would you get for stableness and resilience i.e. processing power, HD space, Memory, Raid etc if you need it for- 100 Users in which are all heavily dependant on email as we are becoming more of an internet and email company Quite a few mail shots to all our clients per week Running a few scripts daily Cheers for input and advice Vas _________________________________________________________________ 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] _________________________________________________________________ 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]
