I get help to put together a highlevel design/diagram, and identify a BOM for Exchange 2007 solutions. 1) Primary site Clustered Mail solution 2) Secondary site DR failover 3) Storage options 4) Archiving 5) Anti-Virus... solution Also what cost effective archiving solutions can we use? Thanks

There you go……. 1) Primary site Clustered Mail solution Based on your need you can opt for solution like SCC, LCR or CCR …but I’d recommend CCR, take a look below http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124521(EXCHG.80).aspx 2) Secondary site DR failover Again depends upon your need(essentially SLA, RPO,RTO etc) you can either opt for Geo-diverse CCR or SCR, for SCR refer the link below http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676502(EXCHG.80).aspx 3) Storage options Depends on what's your company already has versus IOPS, refer the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb738147(EXCHG.80).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/bb412164.aspx 4) Archiving There are many products available…choose the one that suits best to you, refer the link http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchangesvrcompliance/thread/9e50b8ba-5e50-498a-ad8b-8f4fd32211ae 5) Anti-Virus... solution http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/2007/partners/2007/antivirus.mspx Also what cost effective archiving solutions can we use? Refer step 4 Thanks Regards, Pushkal MishrA

Hey Pushkal Thanks for quickie turnaround, as a sample from MS too is there any framework (diagram) available to give a glimpse for the requirement.

Not sure if there is any framework available from MS but there is a exchange 2007 advisor from Dell ............it is a questionnaire type that will help you put together a topology..hopefully it'll be helpful. http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/tools/advisors/exchange_advisor?c=us&l=en&cs=555Regards, Pushkal MishrA

You're Welcome.Regards, Pushkal MishrA
