At least 150% more traffic
100K more mailboxes / users.

It's the outbound / ETRN that takes all of my resources.
My thought was 2 TigerDirect type servers dedicated for this task.
Just not sure of the config...

Already did that.

ok

My thought was to have a second box to be able to balance the increased
load.

Processor of the day ofcource, what I need are the drive configs
Can you define for me the config:
Controller suggestion / RAID type and what channels are
connected to
which drives.
