Optimising your Storage architecture for Exchange 2003
Yes we all know that Exchange likes I/O, lots of it. And I've been telling customers for ages, spindles spindles spindles whilst waving my finger in the air knowledgeably, and chatting confidently about LUNs and SANS. Well, I've found this guide which documents how to Optimise your Storage for Exchange, and removes that finger in the air feeling. It's heavy going if you're not too strong with maths, but goes really well with the Performance and Scalability guide for Exchange - they should be joined at the hip and there should really be a link to each document from each other document on the website - some of our stuff isn't too easy to find and I often find that someone has blogged about it already (thanks Mark and Paul by the way).
I found these 2 entries using MSN search which really flies and I don't even use Google any more to check if there are other resources. Changing my ingrained google habit hasn't been as hard as I'd imagined...
