Dear all, I am in a situation to decide between a new CCR in Exchange 2007 or classic clustering model based on iScsi SAN. Which one you recommend me in order to achieve higher availability with less cost? Has anybody tested iSCSI SAN in a functional production environment? I need your kind feedbacks. Regards, N-Souti

Cost should not really be a major factor though. And yes, iSCSI SANs are deployed all over the place with Exchange, it's in no way even remotely new. I hardly need tell you that going CCR doubles your disk space requirements and halves the number of spindles available to each node. That might mean that your performance really sucks with Exchange.
