Exchange Server storage system sizing eBook



I am working on a new eBook for realtimepublishers.com. It is called the Shortcut Guide to Exchange Server 2007 Storage Systems. It covers capacity planning and storage sizing for Exchange Server (both Exchange 2003 and 2007). It is free to registered users. Here is the marketing blurb for the book:

The conventional way of planning for Exchange Server storage is to throw a lot of disk storage at the server and hope that is sufficient. Mail storage requirements continue to grow for even average users; these users place more and more capacity requirements not only on disk storage but also on disk I/O capacity. As current capacity requirements are exceeded, the storage system must provide scalability. The Shortcut Guide to Exchange Server 2007 Storage Systems, authored by Microsoft Exchange MVP Jim McBee, covers Exchange Server storage capacity requirement planning, the basics of using iSCSI SANs, and best practices for scalability and SAN operations.

Jim,

I'd be happy to help you on the editing side. I've written a few books on storage, you can google my name and find them (Marc Farley). Let me know.

Hi Pine Tree, the sponsor requires that you register before you download the eBook. :-( But, you only have to register once and then you get subsquent chapters also.

Hello,

thanks for this free book. I just read the first chapter and like it (like your Exchange 2000 Book). One sentence seems to be not ok: Page 4 "Recently, written messages can also be
read from cache rather than requiring the Exchange database engine to re-read a message
from cache. "

I suppose it should be
"re-read from disk"?
