I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. It's "two servers in a box".

Long-and-short - it's designed to be two-nodes of a three-node DAG. A "message node". Support 1000 - 5000 mailboxes, depending on load, replicate to the other server in the shared chassis, and to a remote third node. It includes no Exchange licenses nor CALs. It's a slick package, but IMO, it's designed for hosters and for the LORG. Regards, Michael B.

Where is the break even on hardware and software CAL's for this vs. going Hosted with Office 365? - that is if you don't need customer stuff you cannot get in the cloud? Looks like a quick simple install. Well tested and designed by MS and HP - From: Phil Hershey [mailto:phers...@agia.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2011 4:19 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: HP E5500 Appliance Take a little time and go to http://hp.feedroom.com. Search on E5000. It will come back with videos that are 10 minutes or shorter. Start the introduction, and it will cycle through them all with about 30 seconds between them. Basically an HP/MS co-developed and supported appliance that's a 2-blade unit with 16 internal LFF 6G SAS drives. Each blade is has Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and Exchange 2010 SP1 installed with a 2-copy DAG already configured between the two blades. Comes in base 16 TB or 32 TB models. You can add expansion up to a total of 128 TB. 4-hour 24x7x365 hardware, OS and Exchange support included for 3 years. For us that just leaves me with setting up a 2 server CAS/HT array in each site.

IE- what about them looks appealing? From: Phil Hershey [mailto:phers...@agia.com] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 12:00 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: HP E5500 Appliance Is anyone using the HP E5500 Exchange 2010 appliances? We're looking at a pair of them for our 2010 upgrade, and I'm very interested in hearing any feedback. Thanks.
