Exchange 2013 hardware requirement

MBX and CAS is on one VM server. 60 - 80 mailboxs. each mailbox size  2GB . No HA and DAG require.

I using vendor calculator.

MailBox Information
                      Number of Mailboxes                      80
                      Mailbox Size                      2048 MB                     
                      Workload Definition                      50 sent and 200 received 

Solution Details
   Processor -  Intel Quad  Core  3GHz / 10MB Cache
   Memory -  16,384 MB RAM (Per Server)
   Disk (DAS) - 8 Disks Spares ( 0 ) ( Per Server )
   System / Page File - - 2 Disks (300GB 12G SAS 10K 2.5in SC ENT HDD) RAID10 Spares
   Transaction Logs - - 2 Disks (146GB 6G SAS 15K 2.5in SC ENT HDD) RAID10 Spares

I'd recommend figuring out what you don't have set right in the Calculator and fix it.

Hi,

During my test, it works expection whether HA enable or not. You can download and try again, for your reference:

For Exchange 2013 setup, we recommend refer to below link with similar scenario:

Hi Jo,

Make sure you have updated all the required data. Have you checked the SPEC score?

Also select "Server Role Virtualization: Yes"

i found the formula , server CPU megacycle requirements is refer to =IF(HAOption="Yes",calcNumDBMemSizing,"--")

if i select no HA the value will return #VALUE,but the memory is display  correct 16GB.

it look this excel is for large scale exchange with HA environment.
