Article - HA for Exchange 2010 is more costly than Exchange 2007

Ehlo All,

This is an excellent article especially if you're using or considering deploying Exchange 2007 in an HA configuration with SCR,. Also, the new HA mailbox solution in Exchange 2010 is called Database Availability Groups (aka DAGs). This requires the Enterprise Edition for Windows Server 2008, and we do not know if it requires Exchange 2010 Standard or Enterprise. Either way, the requirement of Server Enterprise Edition makes it costly.

Excellent website (Exchange-Genie.com) that explains with pictures the following HA solutions for Exchange 2007 & 2010, CCR, LCR, SCC, SCR, and DAG. In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Information is power,
-Ben

CCR = HA
SCR = DR
DAG = HA & DR

I never thought to present it that way. I love that. Simply and to the point. Makes it easy for admins to follow. Thanks.
