I don't see the benefits either. Your two points are spot on. Exchange failures are generally due to poor hardware or poor administration. Mitigate these two issues and you will have a great single-node [1] cluster.

Upper management here is inquiring about clustering our exchange server. We already have our PRIV, PUB and DIR on a SAN. I don't see the benefit. If the server itself fails, I can rebuild it in an hour. If the database corrupts it would have taken the cluster down too. I have searched the internet but all I find are vendors praising clustering because they want to see you something. Does anyone have any links or whitepapers are unbiased in their opinions? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
