ABSTRACT:
The reasons for implementing a storage area network (SAN) for Microsoft Exchange can be compelling. Deploying a SAN can boost Exchange Server storage and minimize risk by gradually adding storage where it's most needed. However, a SAN deployment will not succeed without careful consideration and planning. In this podcast, Exchange MVP Mark Arnold shares his top tips for a successful Exchange Server and SAN deployment, including:

  • Using thin provisioning to maximize SAN storage
  • Why iSCSI is preferred over Fibre Channel to connect Exchange to the SAN
  • The best RAID type for optimum resiliency and performance
  • The importance of snapshot (VSS) backups in Exchange 2007 and Windows 2008 scenarios
