Highlights
Sizing Guidelines: For Exchange environments, AiO1200 SATA configurations are appropriate for storage groups with less than 500 mailboxes while AiO1200 SAS configurations support up to 1,500 mailboxes when using the Exchange ESRP implementation guidelines. Out of the box implementations for the AiO1200 will support approx 25% of these numbers. The AiO1200 is certified with VMWare ESX for iSCSI connectivity; due to the highly random read/write performance characteristics of VMFS we recommend SAS HDDs for use with VMWare ESX and VMFS.
