My company is in the process of evaluating several mail solutions, scalable to 150k to 200k mailboxes. One thing we'd like to do is run the message store over Gig-E on network attached storage. Two of the vendors we've been looking at claim performance issues running this solution over NFS. Does anyone know of a carrier-class mail solution that will run well on NAS?
Take a look at NetApp. My company (unfortunately) signed an NDA with NetApp, but they've posted that Yahoo uses NetApp for their e-mail: http://www.netapp.com/partners/catalog.cgi/company/28 Rumor has it (no, I'm not violating my NDA) that Hotmail also uses NetApp. -Plenty- of other large sites use 'em for e-mail. Just call a NetApp sales person and and ask for the list. It's impressive. I do believe it contains some carrier-class implementations. Mike -- Mike Johnson Network Engineer / iSun Networks, Inc.
