Hello All,
Our March meeting is a vendor demo (Kemp Technologies) of an Exchange Server 2010 (CAS) load balancing solution. Most people know about DAGs, but to load balance a CAS in Windows, it’s complicated. Enter a 3rd party option with a strong selling point is they offer various price points from SMBs (VM or 4 port hardware) to Enterprise (e.g. 18 GigE ports supporting 10k SSL TPS). Full meeting details below.
Here is an upcoming event you do not want to miss. A big-shot in the Exchange Server community (Adam Glick – Senior Technical Product Manager w/Microsoft’s Exchange Server group) is coming to NYC and will keynote the Exchange Track at a FREE mini-Tech-Ed type event called Techstravaganza at Microsoft’s NY office on March 18 (9am-5pm). Also, I’ve convinced one of my favorite speakers (Michael Murphy aka Murph) to return to speak at this event. This event will have numerous tracks including Exchange (5 sessions), PowerShell, SharePoint, Windows/Client Server, etc. I’ll post updates as necessary or feel free to check out the main website for more information. To register for Techstravaganza, register now!

Exchange Server 2010 Load Balancing Appliance Demo.

Whether you use Outlook native RPC, Outlook Web App, Outlook Anywhere, ActiveSync, POP3 or IMAP4 you can be confident of balanced traffic and smooth failovers.
