VMware Sets Capacity Record Running Microsoft Exchange on IBM System x3850 M2 Servers. This was done in Feb of 2008. As usual after IBM and VMWare worked through and resolved the issues surrounding running 16,000 heavy mailbox users on a single 4 processor server….Dell took their research and configuration and did likewise. I guess this is what stumps me about technology….there are so many me too companies in the crowd but very few with the imagination to actually invent or engineer something original. Anyway here is the first paragraph of the article….the link below provides access to the entire article if you are interested.

Microsoft Exchange Virtualized by VMware More than Doubles Native Capacity of Mailboxes Running on 16-core Physical Servers CANNES, France, February 26, 2008 — VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop to the datacenter, has set a record in system capacity and resource utilization for running Microsoft Exchange. VMware deployed Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 on VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3) and successfully supported 16,000 heavy-user* Exchange mailboxes on a single 4-socket multi-core IBM System x3850 M2 server. Running Microsoft Exchange on VMware software increased by more than 100% the number of supportable Exchange users as compared to Microsoft Exchange’s prescribed recommendations for running natively in a non-virtualized environment.** VMware virtualization software enables enterprises to take full advantage of multi-core hardware servers to run the most demanding enterprise applications much more efficiently.
