  15. IT Benefits with Exchange 2003 Helping Customers reduce the total cost of ownership • IT Productivity • Faster, easier deployment from existing infrastructure • Migration Tools • Management Tools • Backup/Restore • Security • Site and Server Consolidation: reducing requirements for hardware, bandwidth and other critical resources

  16. Exchange Deployment Tools Core Exchange Deployment Scenarios • Structured Guidance • Prescriptive guide to walk a customer through the entire Exchange deployment. • Preparation Tools • Tools to scan topology and give recommendations. • Validation Tools • Tools to help the customer proactively identify issues that will prevent the setup of the Exchange from completing. • NetDiag/DCDiag linked through web • Customers can now have confidence that Exchange is setup correctly and avoid issues which would have required them to call PSS.

  17. Exchange Deployment Tools

  18. Exchange 5.5 Exchange 2000 Exchange 2003 Windows Server 2003 & Outlook 2003 • Avg: 5000 users per Exchange Server 2003 7 physical sites with Exchange Servers and Domain Controller 10 8-proc servers + SAN • Backup to disk • Online restore • 1-2 hours per database 3500 users/server • 100MB per user 75 Sites 35 4-proc servers • Backup to tape • Offline restore 8 hours 800-1000 users/server • 50MB per user Server Consolidation (Redmond)

  19. Server Consolidation • Server Consolidation for Exchange 2003 similar to Exchange 2000 • Exchange 5.5 customers will see similar consolidation opportunities for Exchange 2000/2003 (using Outlook 2000/2002/2003) • Exchange 2000 customers will not see additional server consolidation improvements using Exchange 2003 • Additional Server Consolidation possible if using OWA

  20. Site / Network Consolidation • Site Consolidation for Exchange 5.5 & 2000 customers possibilities: • If using Outlook 2000/2002, no site consolidation opportunity • If using Outlook 2003, it depends on: • size of organization, Public Folder and Free Busy usage, and Outlook 2003 features enabled/disabled (Cached Mode, OAB size, drizzle mode) • Site consolidation possible using all OWA clients (using GZip) • Network bandwidth reduction possible using Outlook 2003 Cached Exchange Mode • Assume approx 30-40% network savings • End-users are shielded from network outages • End-users perform local searches faster than previous clients • RPC/HTTP removes requirement for RAS/VPN overhead
