This blog is no longer updated.

Since I own the domain name for a couple more years, and the hosting was paid-in-advance, it's still here. But I've moved on to Hawaii, and no longer have the need to publish all the sorts of neat stuff that made up the contents of this website.

If you've linked to me, you are invited to unlink, as your readers will no longer be presented with new content. Thanks, Steve
Optimizing Storage for Exchange Server 2003
Thursday, March 03, 2005 : Stephen D. Carroll, rokus.net

Are you planning to deploy Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003? Are you concerned about availability, fault tolerance and performance? If so, it is critical that you understand how to optimize your storage system for Exchange Server 2003, regardless of the size of your organization.

Disk subsystem bottlenecks cause more performance problems than server-side CPU or RAM deficiencies, and a poorly designed disk subsystem can leave your organization vulnerable to hardware malfunctions. Specifically, your disk subsystem is performing poorly if it is experiencing:

- Average read and write latencies over 20 ms.
- Latency spikes over 50 ms that last for more than a few seconds.

High disk latency is synonymous with slow performance. To reduce costly disk latency issues, at a minimum, you should:

- Invest in high performance disks and spindles.
- Consider performance before capacity.
- Align your disks by using DiskPar.
