In January 2007, HP produced new Microsoft Exchange MAPI Messaging Benchmark (MMB3) results using Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, on an HP ProLiant BL480c server blade powered by two Dual-Core Intel Xeon Model 5160 processors (3.0 GHz, 4 MB L2). The MMB3 benchmarking workload and methodology serves as the standard for Exchange Server 2003 MAPI server comparison. The MMB3 workload is characteristic of a medium corporate mail environment. Using the Microsoft LoadSim utility, the ProLiant BL480c server blade was tested at the HP Performance Center in Nashua, New Hampshire. This performance brief describes the outstanding benchmark results achieved.
