So I've been thrown into planning the infrastructure for our next Exchange migration (2007 -> 2010) and it's been an interesting learning experience (especially since I'm the unix admin and refuse to use Outlook). Currently we're running 5 individual Exchange servers and just under 3.5TB of mail for about 500 people. Things I've been thinking about are: 1. Total storage space - Between losing SIS and DAG copies we're probably going to need something like 8TB of space just to start, right? 2. Backup - How does VSS integrate into something like being able to create a volume snapshot on a SAN? We have some volumes that just get snapped on a schedule but haven't tried to drive it from the client side. 3. SAN connectivity - Are there any issues with housing the databases on a SAN over 10Gbit iSCSI? Would fiber be a better option? We're trying to use this project as a way to leverage in a nice SAN that we can expand to other projects (Compellent, FWIW). I'm currently working my way through the Exchange 2010 Inside and Out book, but it's not exactly light reading.
