SAN Recommendations
In preparation for our migration to Exchange 2000, we are working on choosing a SAN to place behind the clustered Exchange servers. We will also be moving various other application and file servers to the SAN as time goes on. Our current data center standard is Dell PowerEdge servers running a mix of NetWare 5.1/6 and Windows NT4/2000. We are looking at the Dell|EMC CX400 and CX600 SANs. In addition to these models, a consultant has proposed the IBM FAStT700 SAN. I'd be interested in getting feedback on performance, service, reliability, etc. from anyone running either of these SANs.

Exchange 2000 Message Retention Policies
We are in the planning stages for our migration from GroupWise 6 to Exchange 2000. Currently within GroupWise, we have a 90 day retention policy for mail and calendar items. Items past this age are moved to trash, where they are kept for 2 days before being purged from the system. This is all handled by the GroupWise server agents without any user intervention required. I know that within Exchange 2000, size limits can be set for mailboxes, and an age threshold can be set for trash, but we really don't care how much space our message store consumes. Is there a way to enforce our existing age-based policy in E2k either natively or through a 3rd party utility? Thank you. -- Mark A.
