Let me try to clarify (but I may only muddy the waters...) We have a Send Connector that gets all outbound mail from our HT boxes to our ET boxes (source servers are the HTs address space is * and the smarthost target is the ET) and another send connector that moves it from the ET to the internet

No, the intent is that you use a single technology for both, as Chuck and Simon alluded to. If you want to use vSphere plus DAG - then you look to VMware for support. Microsoft won't support that configuration, just as they don't support Quick Migration plus DAG on Hyper-V. DAG is a perfectly

Not hot spare as in automatic failover or anything, that's overkill for us, but the plan (not just Exchange but in general) is to replicate at SAN level between sites and have a vSphere box at the spare site that could mount the replica LUNs and give us basic functionality in a bad situation. A

RE: Exchange 2010 on vSphere - Redundancy?

Are you talking about having a hot site in the second location for failover? That's a job for Site Recovery Manager. Tuning Exchange depends on number of mailboxes, Public folders, Full outlook (cached mode) versus OWA and how those resources are managed/used. John W. Cook Systems Administrator

We're currently using Exchange 2003 but should be going to 2010 in the next few months. In terms of performance, a single server should do the job, so that leaves redundancy. I'm interested in peoples experiences of things like vSphere Fault Tolerance combined with things like DAG groups?
