What's your budget? Do you have any other uses for an iSCSI Storage device or would it be dedicated to Exchange? Are there specific benefits of an iSCSI solution you're looking to leverage?
On the surface, 50 users and 120Gb stores could easily be handled by a traditional rack mount server, but I don't know what type of users we're talking about. The only reason I would implement external storage is if you had heavy users and you needed enough spindles to handle the IO. I wouldn't purchase a storage array just for the sake of purchasing a storage array, but that's just my opinion. - Sean On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 10:13 AM, Brian Dugas <br...@summit-technical.com>wrote: > We are looking to upgrade from Exch2003 to Exch2007 this year.
