<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Guys, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know this topic has been discussed but I could
not find the complete answer from the available posts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am working on an opportunity for a 5000 seat VM
only solution and would like to know what is the recommended server numbers for
a failover Unity solution with redundant AD/GC and Exchange.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From my research I believe I need the
following.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2x Unity servers<BR>2x AD/GC servers<BR>2x Exchange
servers</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Is the hardware list sufficient to achieve my
requirements.<BR>2) Does the 'shipped' exchange version from Cisco support
exchange clustering to achieve the fail over of exchange?<BR>3) Does the
'shipped' windows 2003 version support the exchange clustering guidelines as
outlined by MS.<BR>4) Do I need a 'front end server' Iam not running OWA
etc..<BR>5) Is there an alternate or recommended way to achieve my
requirements?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers, I appreciate any input.</FONT></DIV>
