Scenario
-----------
Company X has merged with company Y.
Company X has 2 locations:
East Coast - 1 EX 5.5 SP4 on NT 4, responsible for
X.com domain's mail
UK - NONE (Using East coast mail
server via Internet)
Company Y has 2 locations:
West Coast - 1 EX 5.5 SP4 on NT 4, responsible for
Y-west.com domain's mail
East Coast - 2 EX 5.5 SP4 on NT 4, responsible for
Y-east.com domain's mail
Following is the connections between these sites:
X - Y(East) : 512kbps (FR)
Y(West) - Y(East) : 256kbps (FR)
Y(East) - FR Cloud : 512kbps (FR)
X and Y(West) have to go through Y(East) to connect to Internet.
(There are additional/backup Internet connections as follows:)
X - Internet(backup): 384kbps (DSL)
X(UK) - Internet: 128kbps (ISDN)
Y(East) - Internet: 768kbps (T1)
Needs
--------
1- The new company has taken the name X and wants all employees in all 3
locations to receive email
sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". This should be done without any or minimum email
service interruption.
2- Provide a fault-tolerant solution, in case one of the EX servers goes
down or loses it's Internet connection.
3- Company wants to move EX2K at some point in the future. Should it wait to
merge first and
then migrate or migrate first and then merge?
Solutions
-----------
1- What type of connector and why?
2- How should the DNS MX records be arranged?
3- What are pluses & minuses for each merge now versus migrate now
scenarios?
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks
