Why Microsoft Exchange 2010?
Exchange has drastically been redesigned from the 2003 version. E-mails have increased in size and quantity. Users now want increased access to emails. Since users can no longer use .pst/offline archives they require a bigger quota for their mailboxes. Exchange was optimized for SAN and needed to be redesigned to allow low cost SATA drives.
Exchange 2010 is designed to deliver higher levels of reliability and performance with a lower TCO and wider range of deployment.
Exchange 2010 Enhancements:
- Reduced I/O per second (IOPs) requirement and lower acquisition costs with a choice of direct attached storage (DAS) or lower cost drives in shared storage arrays — Exchange 2010 delivers up to a 70-percent reduction in disk I/O over Exchange 2007. Additional disk types meet the minimum performance required to run Exchange, so organizations can use the new architecture to drive down storage costs.
- Exchange 2003 requires SAN for HA and performance—Exchange 2010 has greater flexibility in storage options with SANs to DAS.
