A Compaq DL380 G2 (G3 would be better) with one or two CPUs, 1GB of ram Two 36GB drives in RAID1 for OS, swap, & exchange logs (not the greatest, but OK for 100 users) However many 72GB in RAID5 for exchange store.
My personal opinion is to avoid 15K drives - we've had a couple of these fail. -----Original Message----- From: Vas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 4:41 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]
