• Single site, 16000 mailboxes 

This white paper provides an example of how to design, test and validate an Exchange Server 2010 solution for customer environments with 16,000 mailboxes in a single site deployed on IBM and Brocade hardware. The step-by-step methodology in this document walks through the important design decision points that help address key challenges while ensuring that the customer’s core business requirements are met.

• Single site, 500 mailboxes 

This white paper provides an example of how to design, test, and validate an Exchange 2010 solution for customer environments with 500 mailboxes or less deployed on Dell server and storage solutions.
