The number of 350 perserver on the exchange side. Is very low in the
Exchange world. And running that many on one might not be realistic if
you factor in Geography, and bandwidth.

I'd be interested in seeing actual load simulations and the associated
performance of a 50,000 user loaded IBM 9672-X27 with collaboration
applications on par w/ Exchange. I'd also like to see an Intel based
clustered solution with a SAN factored in as an alternate solution. It
may make the scalability numbers more valuable and comparable. I also
don't buy the support numbers.
I have to say though, I was down at Linux World is SF the other week and
saw some amazing stuff on collaboration platforms. ximian for example
is doing some really cool stuff.

That's a great commercial!
I have a problem with support costing $990,000 for the Exchange/Intel
platform and $0 for the Linux one. Should I read it closer? I mean, I
could hire 1100 Hanjis or one Chenault at that rate!

Hello:
I am not advocating either side. I am just providing this as
some related reading for Exchange Admins. Maybe you can even comment on
it and let the rest of us know if you disagree with it and why.
