Remember, users love to keep everything that comes in via e-mail.
Things like comics, mpgs, and Midrange lists  ;-)  Planning for storage
is a big part of designing the system.  Database fix-up and recovery on
Exchange needs lots of disk space, on the same server, so do look over
what it takes to restore or fix someone's mailbox!

And don't forget to plan out a strategy for virus scanning, anti-relay
and remote POP3 users!

| Well, the Exchange quote had 1TB of storage (WAY overkill in my
opinion -
| about 1.25GB/user!) and I requested a 400GB quote with the iSeries
DSD.
| We'll have between 700 and 800 users and will probably either use the
| iNotes
| for Outlook as a standard or the Web Access. With 400GB, that's still
| 500MB
| per user (at 800 users). I believe we could even go with half that to
| begin
| with - or less. I've been "volunteered" to help our PC guys convert
all of
| our users to Windows 2000 and that includes backing up their email.
The
| largest email file I've backed up is 60 MB and most of that file was
in
| the
| Trash folder! I know that some users will "need" maybe 500MB, but the
vast
| majority may use only 10MB.
