Storage has changed a lot in Exchange Server 2007 from lower I/O requirements to no longer requiring shared storage for Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) clustering. This Podcast chronicles how Microsoft IT tackled these changes in there deployment.
Overview
How does Exchange Server 2007 enable a large enterprise to increase mailbox quotas globally by a factor of ten and still lower storage costs, reduce maintenance complexities, and simplify data recovery processes? Microsoft IT was able to take advantage of Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) in new mailbox server designs based on direct attached storage (DAS).
