Exchange should have OS, logs and store running from different controllers or at least separate arays. So does SQL. So your disk config should look like this: a mirrored pair for the OS. A mirrored pair for the exchange logs. A mirrorred pair for the SQL log. A RAID 5 aray for the Exchange store. A Raid 5 Array for the SQL data. Since most RAID controllers have 2 channels, at best you are looking at 3 RAID controllers and a minimum of 12 HDD. Depending at the volume, I'd be looking at a quad processor machine, with licensing to go with it, and I'd start with 4 GB of mem and go up from there. It will be cheaper to get 2 machines. |
