Dan3, Enough such that no one but an idiot would buy anything other than lots of moderately priced, very, very, conservatively speced, bog standard servers to host such a cluster. Actually, most every site I've worked with uses Compaq ProLiant 8500 Xeon boxes.

Enough such that no one but an idiot would buy anything other than lots of moderately priced, very, very, conservatively speced, bog standard servers to host such a cluster. You've never been anywhere near the management responsibility side of a even a moderately sized Exchange server, have you? --- Have you seen "Exchange 2000 Deployment on Compaq ProLiant Servers and StorageWorks at Microsoft" ( microsoft.com )? Exchange 2000 Server Configuration Large Mailbox Server: Compaq ProLiant 8500, 8P/1MB, 4GB RAM (4) 18GB drives + SAN (3) StorageWorks MA8000 SAN enclosures with (42) 18GB drives (See detailed SAN configuration below) Users Per Server: ~3,750 Description/Function: Server configuration for majority of Exchange 2000 mailboxes centrally managed in the Redmond HQ data center. This configuration utilizes Compaq StorageWorks Modular Array SAN technology. Server has 3 storage groups each with 5 databases. Well worth the read if you work with Exchange on a regular basis. - Eric
