Chapter 1. Planning an Exchange Server 2013 Infrastructure

Before moving over to the "real stuff", where we walk you through the installation of Exchange Server 2013, we will dedicate this chapter to planning, which might make it the least technical chapter in this book. Considering the fact that Exchange is not only an e-mail system but often the cornerstone for all other unified communication applications in a company, detailed planning is a very important aspect of an Exchange Server 2013 implementation project.

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Gathering the business requirements

  • Sizing Exchange 2013

  • Preparing for Exchange 2013

  • Designing storage for Exchange

  • Understanding Active Directory and DNS dependencies

  • Planning related platform components
