By default, the calculator will determine the storage architecture that should be utilized to reduce the total number of disks required to support the design, in addition, to still ensuring you have minimized single points of failure by utilizing RAID and/or JBOD based on the decisions found in the "RAID Storage Architecture" and "JBOD Storage Architecture" tables. However, you can change the storage architecture to be built entirely on RAID or entirely on JBOD (if the design supports JBOD as a possible solution; also keep in mind that certain scenarios (e.g., a single database copy in a datacenter) may result in a single point of failure) by selecting the appropriate value in the "Storage Architecture will be Deployed:" drop-down. The Storage Configuration table will output the total number of disks required for each mailbox server that requires RAID or JBOD storage, as well as, identify the total number of disks requiring RAID or JBOD storage in each datacenter. Conclusion Hopefully you will find this calculator invaluable in helping to determine your Exchange server role requirements. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email .
