RE: Exchange 2000 cluster

E2k works great in a clustered environment.  We use Dell PowerEdge 2450 
with Perc 2 or 3 raid cards and a Dell 210 external scsi container.

You don't really need the standby server with E2k.  With e 5.5 when you 
restored a mailbox you only have one storage group so if you did a restore 
you would overwrite everyone's mail back one day.  With E2k you have 
multiple storage groups on the same server, which means you can do a 
restore and mount your exchange information on the same server.

Exchange Clustering requires exchange 2000 enterprise and Windows 2000 
Advanced Server.   Much Much better than exchange 5.5

Hi, we are thinking on upgrading Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 within the 
next few months. 
Right now we have a offline, hotspare configuration.  Meaning that if our 
primary server fails, we bring the other on online and just copy the logs 
over, after doing a daily restore that is.
I am looking into the possibility of creating a cluster environment 
instead, with new HW. I am sure many of you have this at your shops. 
Basically, what I'd lie to do is have two servers attached to an external 
raid array.   Can you please give me some pointer as to what HW you guys 
recommend or use. We currently use mostly Dell Power Edge servers here.
 
Thanks in advance. 
Juan
