Intel® 500 Mailbox Exchange Server 2007 Storage Solution Intel® Server Chassis SC5400 and Server Board S5000PSL applications, directory and network service latencies, network infrastructure limitations, replication and recovery requirements, and client usage profiles. All these factors are beyond the scope for ESRPstorage. Therefore, the number of mailboxes hosted per server as part of the tested configuration may not necessarily be viable for some customer deployment.
