Exchange 2003 Clustering Consulting Services

Microsoft IT recently deployed Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, the latest edition of the company’s industry-leading enterprise messaging application. OTG not only serves the company by running the IT utility for its myriad employees and locations, but also serves as the first and best customer for the various enterprise product development groups at Microsoft, deploying Microsoft software within the company before it is available to outside customers. The migration from Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 led to some significant changes in the messaging architecture at Microsoft. OTG has moved toward a fully clustered, mailbox server environment. Each of these server clusters are connected to one or more Storage Area Network (SAN) enclosures for its data storage. The use of clustering technology has improved reliability, increased availability, and improved the process of performing rolling upgrades.
