What is Storage Group?
Storage Group is a grouping of Mai!ox and"or #u!ic $oder %ata!ases& which shares a singe !ac'up schedue and
asinge set of (ransaction og fies) Storage Groups are *anaged using their separate server process and the
idea !ehind spitting data!ases up in Storage Groups is pri*ari+ to reduce the overhead that resuts fro* *utipe
sets oftransaction og fies)
What are the storage group and data!ase si,e i*itations in Exchange 200-& co*pared
with Exchange 200.?
Exchange Server 200. Standard edition supported 1Storage Group and 2 Stores / one Mai!ox and one #u!ic
$oder Store when excuding the ecover+ Storage Group of course) Exchange Server 200. Enterprise Edition
supported a tota of 3 Storage Groups each containing a *axi*u* of 4 store data!ases per Storage Groups thus
*axi*u* 20 data!ases per server) (he i*it of a data!ase si,e in Exchange Server 200. Standard edition was
15G6 athough raised to -4 G6 when Exchange 200. Service #ac' 2 was appied) (here was no i*it on adata!ase si,ewhen ta'ing a!out Exchange Server 200. Enterprise edition 7we actua+ there is a 15(era!+te i*it
!ut this i*it iscaused !+ hardware)
Exchange Server 200- co*es in two favours& a standard edition and an enterprise edition& 8ust i'e previous
versionsof Exchange) (he Mai!ox Server when ta'ing a!out the Exchange Server 200- Standard edition supports
a tota of 4Storage Groups and 4 data!ases) 9ni'e Exchange 200. and previous versions of Exchange there:s
no onger adata!ase storage i*it in the standard edition) (he Mai!ox server in the Exchange 200- Enterprise
edition supportsup to 40 Storage groups and a *axi*u* of 40 data!ases per server) Exchange 200- aows +ou
to create up to 4data!ases in each Storage Group as is the case with Exchange 200.& !ut !est practice is to
create 1data!ase perStorage Group) So wh+ shoud +ou have a one to one reationship !etween storage groups
and data!ases? Wepri*ari+ !ecause +ou: !e up and running a ot faster considering disaster recover+ scenarios&etc)
