What you will learn:

Did you know that a certain number of disks of one size will deliver greater performance and the same overall capacity than a fewer number of larger disks? Register for this eLearning Seminar to find out more!

Join Mark Arnold, a Microsoft MVP and Technical Architect of Exchange integration for an Exchange vendor, as he coaches you through the solutions for storage issues in Exchange Server 2007.

Why it's worth your time - and your employer's money:

• Learn what to do if your stores are getting out of control or if you have a compliance requirement dropped in your lap.
• Discover what features you can have on the Storage Area Network that will revolutionize your databases, testing, patches, and backups management.
• Understand what the right balance is between filling a server with memory and using the appropriate number and size of disks.

Access to the archives: $79 USD (Click on the Register Button) - FREE if you attended the live event!

Sessions abstracts:

Archiving and Compliance – do you need a third-party vendor solution?
Using Managed Folders and journaling can help keep the size of production mail stores down, but what if you need more robust compliance and governance? Marrying Exchange’s built-in features with tiered storage can delay the point at which you decide that a formal archiving solution is necessary for you, possibly permanently.

Exchange 2007 Storage – What your iSCSI networked storage should look like
Exchange 2007 changes your storage landscape; you can host so much more on so much less. Do you use fewer servers or the same? Do you use larger disks or more of them? We will discuss your LUN layout and show how to make the most efficient use of the iSCSI platform on which your Exchange 2007 server will reside.

Memory versus Spindles – A budget dilemma
Since Exchange 2007 is purely based on 64-bit servers you can use a great deal more memory than with Exchange 2003. But where is the sweet spot? Where do you stop adding memory and let more disk spindles take up the increasing load? We will take the recommendations that Microsoft gives you and turn them into real-life server configurations.
