Application-Specific Guidelines
E-Mail Servers
The storage requirements for e-mail servers can vary depending on the size, the amount, and the
type of users. While small departmental e-mail servers may work well with a small amount of
storage and limited features; large corporate e-mail servers normally require greater storage
capacity, very high availability, performance, and scalability. I/O profiles will vary depending on the
number of users and type of mail and attachments sent.

Table 9: Email Server RAID Guidelines
Application
E-Mail
Recommended:
•
RAID 10 – Recommended for mission-critical e-mail servers where availability and
redundancy and/or performance are the highest priority and where reduced storage
capacity is acceptable.
•
RAID 5 – Recommended for e-mail servers that require maximum storage capacity and
moderate data protection and performance.
•
RAID 50 – Recommended for those solutions that require greater redundancy and data
protection and a balance between storage capacity and performance.
•
RAID 6 – Recommended for e-mail servers that require maximum storage capacity and
enhanced data protection and moderate performance.
•
RAID 60 – Recommended for those solutions that require greater redundancy and data
protection and a balance between storage capacity and performance.
Possible:
•
RAID 1 – Possible solution for small e-mail servers which do not require high storage
capacity.
