I am in the midst of getting proposals for an replacing my Exchange server
(hardware) We run Exchange 2000 and I am having serious performance issues. I
am getting conflicting recommendations from different sources on how much power
I need. I have 60 users accessing this server and probably need to consider
another 20 users in the next 1 to 2 years for growth. We use it to access
webmail from remote sites as well as the corporate office.
We were a start-up company that has grown quickly. Because we watched costs
early on we used what would work without spending any extras. Right now I use
a PIII 933 megahertz dual processors 512 Ram with IDE drives. I have had two
consultant-types tell me that is my problem. I have one consultant type
telling me I have enough power.
I am considering moving up to a "real" server with dual 1.8 xeon processors
P4s, 2 gigs Ram, and 4 36Gig Ultra 160 SCSI Hard Drives w/ room to add more
drives. One consultant says this is overkill while 2 other consultants say
this is what I need.
