Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculator v3.5

O Ross Smith IV anunciou no Microsoft Exchange Team Blog que a ferramenta Mailbox Server Role Storage Requirements Calculator foi actualizada para a versão 3.5

Version 3.5 introduces the following fixes:

• Improved the text on the input tab with regards to the number of database copy instances you would like for both HA and lagged copies.
• Fixes an issue where in a high availability architecture the calculator may size the solution based on activating more database copies during a second server failure event than the total number of database copies deployed on the server.
