Abstract: Compaq achieved record-breaking Exchange Server
scalability by achieving 15,000 MMB on a ProLiant 7000 server
equipped with four 400-MHz Intel Pentium
II Xeon
processors.
Using Microsoft’s Load Simulation utility, the ProLiant 7000 with
four 400-MHz processors was tested at Compaq’s Microsoft
Competency Center in Redmond, Washington. The favorable results
of this testing demonstrate the superior performance capabilities of
four-processor servers based on the Intel Pentium
II Xeon
processor as compared to eight-processor servers based on the Intel
Pentium
Pro available from competitors.
Compaq and Microsoft have worked to optimize Microsoft Exchange
Server performance on Compaq server products to provide an
optimal balance between performance, availability, manageability,
and cost. Compaq not only provides world-class server platforms,
but also the experience necessary for the successful deployment of
messaging and collaborative applications
