Now I admit I am only dealing with 4000 users on a very similar box only with much more storage space (as 10 meg maiboxes is usless these days), but I am hardly denting it load wise so far.
Check out the following document keeping in mind that the box has been tuned a bit more than mine.

Another thing to note was the fact that they figured they needed 10 (1 backup) exchange servers?
Where did they come up with that one?
One Compaq Proliant 6450 server with 4 x 550MHz Pentium III Xeon processors each with 2MB of L2 cache, 4GB of RAM and a 100GB external Fibre Channel disk array. Can easily handle 50k users with Exchange 2000...and if that is not enough storage for you it is easy to continue adding more disk arrays as space is needed.
That being said I wonder how the TCO would come out over 3 years between the above solution on a Win 2k platform vs a Linux platform with the same hardware and functionality. Can anyone help on this one?
Am I the only one that noticed how skewed the results were with regards to support costs?
The first set of figures are skewed in support of the MS solution. The second are skewed in support of the Linux version.
I am wondering what the bases for those numbers were.
I am left wondering if they have taken into account the dangers of this product.
What happens if a device has a critical failure and the mirror shatters? Would I ever be glad to have a piece of glass thrown out of the machine at high speeds at my neck. Now that would sure be a 3d thrill..
The Hydro Companies across Ontario are offering net connectivity. They are running there service for the most part over fiber. There rates are pretty decent for businesses as well, but sadly out of reach for the home user.
Yet another example of how bad slashdot is getting. No spell checking, no proof reading..Hell how about reading the damn front page for once? I have been getting a little tired of the same stories posted day after day but this takes the cake..By the looks of things we only actually have to read the page once a month..Stories will be the same..Hell a lot of the time they likely will still even have the same links from a month ago at this rate..Have a clue guys. Don't you even care about the quality of the web site?

Hmm..
Actually I always found that it worked better that way...
