White Paper
Optimizing MS Exchange with the
QLogic 10000 Series Adapter
RESTORE “LIKE-NEW” RESPONSE
Existing Exchange solutions that utilize Fibre Channel technology will
benefit greatly from an upgrade to the QLogic FabricCache 10000 Series
Adapter. The Host Bus Adapter upgrade is a simple process that requires
no modification to the Exchange environment or the storage platform. The
performance gain is immediate and truly remarkable. The upgrade can
breathe new life into your Exchange solution, restoring that “like-new”
responsiveness. The performance enhancement can extend the useful life
of your storage solution by supporting more transactions by more users.
SUMMARY
Microsoft Exchange is a mission-critical, highly utilized, storage-hungry
application. Proper storage design is vital to a successful Exchange
deployment. Providing adequate IOPS capability is an important
consideration in the storage design formula.
Higher-performing disks offer better IOPS capability. When coupled with
the QLogic 10000 Series FabricCache Adapter, the disks process Exchange
transactions as much as five times faster. This combined solution offers
transparent integration, seamless interoperability, and rock-solid reliability.
