HP ProLiant DL580 Server Benchmark Results for Microsoft Exchange 2003
Abstract In February 2004, HP produced new Microsoft® Exchange MAPI Messaging Benchmark (MMB3) results using Microsoft Windows® 2003 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 on an HP ProLiant DL580 Generation 2 (G2) server powered by two Intel® Xeon 3.0 GHz processors with 512 KB L2 cache and 4 MB L3 cache. The MMB3 benchmarking workload and methodology serves as the standard for Exchange 2003 MAPI server comparison. The MMB3 workload is characteristic of a medium corporate mail environment. Using the Microsoft LoadSim utility, the ProLiant DL580 G2 server was tested at the HP Performance Center in Nashua, New Hampshire. Executive summary HP achieved world-class Exchange Server 2003 scalability results of 7,300 MMB3 on a ProLiant DL580 G2 server equipped with:  Four Intel Xeon MP 3.0 GHz processors with 512 KB L2 and 4 MB L3 cache  168  36.4 GB hard drives on five Smart Array 6402 controllers for databases and log files Two  36.4 GB hard disk drives for the Exchange files and operating systems.  
 One -36.4 GB hard disk drives for Active Directory
 One  36.4 GB hard drive for pagefiles The ProLiant DL580 G2 (quad processor) server achieved the following:  Average CPU utilization rate of 63% during the 7,300 MMB3 test.  Weighted 95th percentile response-time score was 581 milliseconds.  Average send-queue size for the four-hour steady-state period was 38 messages. ProLiant DL580 G2  the server behind the outstanding performance Overview The  ProLiant DL580 G2 server is an enterprise class, 4-way server designed for environments that require maximum computing power and robust high availability features in a versatile, rack-optimized form factor. Based upon industry standard processing, memory, I/O and networking technologies, the ProLiant DL580 G2 server provides the highest levels of performance demanded by today's compute intensive applications. Unparalleled high availability features include:
 Advanced Memory Protection technology  Integrated RAID controller

 Smart Array 6402 Controllers Description The Smart Array 6402 high performance Ultra320, PCI-X array controller, as shown in Figure 2, provides maximum performance, flexibility, and reliable data protection for ProLiant servers, through its unique modular design and support for Advanced Data Guarding (RAID ADG). This new generation performance Smart Array controller again raises the standards of performance, introducing Double Data Rate (DDR) battery-backed write cache (BBWC) architecture and a new RAID engine. Designed and tested with industry standard ProLiant servers for greater reliability, this controller is ideal for workgroup and departmental servers. Like other Smart Array controllers, the Smart Array 6402 controller features complete data compatibility with previous generations Smart Array controllers for easy data migration from server to server and for controller upgradeability.
 Figure 2. Smart Array 6402 controller
 
 Features  Modular, easy to upgrade design lets you optimize performance and increase capacity as needed from 128 to 256 MB BBWC, with support for a two channel U320 expansion option.  High performance, sixth-generation architecture offers a new hardware RAID engine and a new performance 266 MHz DDR memory architecture for increased performance over previous controllers.  Recovery ROM protects against a ROM failure or corruption.

 Ultra320 SCSI technology delivers high performance and data bandwidth up to 320 MB/s bandwidth per channel.  Mix and match LVD SCSI compatibility protects your investments and lets you deploy drives as needed.  BBWC protects cached data in the event of a power outage, server failure or controller failure, and redundant, replaceable batteries take that protection even further. Maximum cache configuration is 256 MB of BBWC.  64 bit, 133 MHz PCI-X interface boosts bandwidth above 1 GB/s burst transfer rate over PCI-X bus.  64 bit memory addressing supports servers with greater than 4 GB of memory. Online Management features include:   Online Capacity Expansion  Online RAID Level Migration  Online Stripe Size Migration  Multiple Online Spares (Global)  User Selectable Read/Write cache  User Selectable Expand and Rebuild Priority Test methodology and workload For Exchange Server 2003, the benchmarks were measured using the MAPI Messaging Benchmark 3 (MMB3). The MMB3 workload, for LoadSim 2003, is a modification of the previous MMB2 workload. It is designed to include new features from Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook 2003. This workload achieves the following: Uses the Microsoft Outlook 2003 client.   Introduces Smart Folders.  Introduces the use of server-side rules.  Allows the message distribution to be composed of larger message sizes than MMB2.  Increases the mailbox size to 100MB per user.  Removes journaling from the benchmark. For more detailed information regarding the differences between MMB2 and MMB3, refer to Appendix C  MMB2 and MMB3 workload comparison in this document. This test measures the messaging throughput of a single-server, single-site topology. Its purpose is to measure the maximum throughput of Exchange Server 2003 on this hardware configuration.
Note: This test can provide a benchmark for comparing hardware and/or software products, but cannot be used as a deployment guide for production environments . For deployment specific information contact an HP representative. 5

The MMB3 benchmark does not account for:
          
 
Usage profiles not matching that of the LoadSim MMB3 profile Per user storage and per server backup requirements Fault tolerance requirements, such as protected storage (RAID 0+1, RAID 5, etc.) for the system/pagefile volume, information store and transaction logs Anti-virus and management processes and effects on the server UBE/UCE (spam) mail flow Workloads other than MAPI private folder access that includes Public Folder, NNTP, POP3 and other email interfaces Multiple Exchange Server deployments, where additional resources are required to forward mail intra-site Connectors, Links and Replication to remote Exchange sites Network topologies, bandwidth availability, latency requirement and SLA related factors like QOS (Quality of Service) and fail-over path issues Manageable database sizes and partitioning beyond the 2 Storage Group, 2 database/SG configuration
