Uma década de Exchange!

Hoje faz precisamente 10 anos que iniciei a minha vida de “blogador” neste blog de seu nome “subject: exchange”. É muito tempo, passou a correr e, para ser honesto, nunca esperei que aguentasse tanto tempo.

É de facto por muita carolice, mas sobretudo paixão, que tenho conseguido alimentar o blog com posts (não tantos quanto gostaria) no meio de uma vida profissional que não me deixa muito tempo livre para os hobbies.

Já consegui passar por 4 versões de Exchange, segundo a página Exchange Server Updates: build numbers and release dates: do Exchange 2003 SP1 ao 2013 CU6.

Venham mais 10 (no mínimo) e obrigado a todos os que seguem os meus posts aqui, ou em Inglês no blog gémeo.

Exchange Server Jetstress 2013 Tool v15.0.995.29

A versão15.0.995.29 (Outubro 2014) da Microsoft Exchange Server Jetstress 2013 Tool está disponível para download.

Brief Description
Simulate Exchange disk I/O load on a server to verify the performance and stability of your disk subsystem before putting your server into a production environment.

Overview
Use Jetstress to verify the performance and stability of a disk subsystem prior to putting an Exchange server into production. Jetstress helps verify disk performance by simulating Exchange disk Input/Output (I/O) load. Specifically, Jetstress simulates the Exchange database and log file loads produced by a specific number of users. You use Performance Monitor, Event Viewer, and ESEUTIL in conjunction with Jetstress to verify that your disk subsystem meets or exceeds the performance criteria you establish. After a successful completion of the Jetstress Disk Performance and Stress Tests in a non-production environment, you will have ensured that your Exchange disk subsystem is adequately sized (in terms of performance criteria you establish) for the user count and user profiles you have established. It is highly recommended that the Jetstress user read through the tool documentation before using the tool.
