Hi
I'm taking a closer look at creating an Indexing Server group for an new EV customer. They have about 30,000 mailboxes across 6 Exchange mailbox servers on a single site. I was thinking of doing a either a 1:1 relationship and have local index and storage service on each EV server and hence have 6 EV servers or to have a 1:2 relationship (EV:Exchange) but then to have a couple of Indexing servers to offload the indexing tasks and allow a single EV server to more easily cope with 10,000 mailboxes each. The user is fairly typical usage levels with message size (<100KB) and attachment rates (<30%) etc (heavy users on about 60 messages per day and light at about 15-20). They do want eDiscovery (but not expecting to need it much) and do some light journaling (only cetain mailboxes @ 100,000 messages a day).
Is there an obvious way to go here.....?
many thanks
