I was out looking at Kemp’s site today looking at Kemp devices for a client of mine. The request was to determine a proper Load Balancer for my client based on their organization. While I was on the Kemp site I came across a new tool Kemp currently has in Beta.
The tool is called the “LoadMaster Sizing Guide for MS Exchange 2010”. The tool itself is pretty cool and is exactly what every Exchange guru should be aware of! The tool is capable of making a recommendation of what Kemp LoadMaster you should get for your organization.
In order to determine the size of the LoadMaster (LM) you are able to enter in the following information based on your organization size:
- Total Mailboxes
- Percent Concurrent Connections
- Percentage of HTTPS services
- Avg# of Messages/Day/Mailbox
- Avg.Message Size (KB)
- Hours/day
- Busy Hour Multiplier
- Max Virtual Services (VIP)
- Max Exchange Servers
- Select SSL Key Length
The options have either a direct entry where you can put a number or slide bars to adjust the setting. Pretty sweet tool! You can have a look for yourself. You can find the tool by following the URL: http://www.kemptechnologies.com/fileadmin/templates/sizingDoc/lme_calc_2k/lme_calc_2k.htm
Great Job on this one! PERFECT!
