RE: Ms Exchange and Netapp Filers - toasters

13 Jul 2001


      I'm not sure where's the best place to direct this feedback, but the NetApp
Tech Library papers on Exchange on filers and SnapManager you listed below
ought to be updated for SnapManager 1.1.  In particular, there is no
reference to NetApp Drive, and restores are described as 50GB/hr copies from
Snapshots rather than SnapRestore-style reversions to the Snapshots.

As per http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3074.html 
MicrosoftR Exchange and NetAppT Filers: Recommendations for 
Deployment, if you scroll down to section 4.2.2, we highly 
encourage the use of low latency connections like Gigabit, 
particularly in database configurations.  There are several 
other useful documents in the tech library that will steer 
you in the right direction for a successful deployment, 
including http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3054.html

We are currently a Lotus Notes shop and are looking to move 
to Exchange.
We have specked out a server and are planning to place the 
Exchange data on
the filer.  Our question is related to connectivity.  Is 
anyone running
fast ethernet between their filer and Exchange server?  Or is 
Gigabit the
best bet?  What are your experiences with either of these?  Thanks in
advance for your input.
