Messaging & Positioning Customer Challenge/Problem Statement

• Migration to Exchange 2010Exchange 2003 support is being phased out (2014)

Exchange 2010 is a 64-bit app possibly requiring a server upgrade

Exchange 2010 improved I/O performance (by 70%!) but requires more memory


Target• IT would like to drive down costs by moving to an email

model similar to Google Mail – simple and easy – but there are issues with security and compliance

• Compliance mandates are putting increased pressure on large organizations to manage information

In order to comply with legal discovery rules, large organizations must implement policies for retention and deletion of emails and must monitor compliance. Third-party software tools (such as Autonomy) are available but expensive.


Service Profiles and Stateless Computing • Create Server Profiles to consistently manage server attributes

for each Exchange server role Automatically ensure your Mailbox servers, Client Access Server Hub Transport servers, and Unified Messaging serves have the correct server component such as adapters, memory, CPU, VLANs, BIOS settings, etc.

Define server attributes and apply them to stateless blades. Manage all server attributes including BIOS settings, firmware versions VLANs, MAC addresses, WWPNs, WWNN, server UUIDs, boot policies, firmware versions, and etc.

• When combined with SAN booting, moving a service profile from and active blade to a standby blade moves the entire operating system and attached LUNs to the standby blade.

• New Service Profiles can be created manually, from a template, or by cloning an existing service profile.


Extended Memory & Intel Xeon• Extended memory technology enables the mailbox role to host greater

number of mailboxes by providing memory capacity at a lower cost and a smaller footprint. Extended memory technology provides 48 DIMM slots (up to 384 GB RAM) on a single dual processor Intel Xeon 5600 series server.

• This extended memory feature runs on 8GB DIMM dual-rank at 1333Mhz compared to our competitors that may use quad-rank memory or speeds of 800Mhz

• Intel Xeon 5600, 6500, 7500 and E7 Series Processors• The combination of an Intel Xeon processor and a Windows®

operating system is an industry standard, proven platform for running business-critical applications such as Microsoft Exchange 2010.

• UCS server with Intel processors provide industry leading performance for Microsoft Exchange server roles.
