HP has released "HP recommended configuration for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 - StorageWorks EVA8400 using CA-EVA and CLX-EVA". With the release of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (Exchange 2010) there are many new design features and configuration options to consider. To better understand how to deploy theses new features with HP servers and storage, HP has developed a series of recommended configurations. The recommended configurations provide sizing guidance and deployment options to support the new Exchange 2010 solutions. The configurations described in this guide are meant to assist you in designing solutions that address your email business requirements.
The recommended configurations provide server and storage sizing details for deploying Microsoft Exchange 2010. In this reference configuration the Exchange server roles have been placed on virtual servers using Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V (Hyper-V). The advantage of this solution is that it allows the use of Hyper-V Live Migration for the mailbox servers. The solution has been sized to support 20,000 users with 512MB mailboxes. The hardware featured in this configuration is the HP ProLiant BL460c G6 (BL460c G6) server blade used to host the virtualized Exchange server roles and the HP StorageWorks 8400 Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA8400) to manage the storage needs.
