Software or hardware load balancing?
Answering “yes” to any of these indicates a key reason for hardware load balancing Yes No
1 Will there be a reverse proxy or NAT between users and Exchange servers?
2 Will you deploy Outlook Anywhere, Active/Sync mobile and web clients?
3 Will you deploy multi-role servers (Mailbox and CAS on the same server?)
4 Do you need continuous Exchange availability during CAS server maintenance?
5 Do you need Exchange service health awareness (not merely server health)?
6 Will you use client IP addresses from a small number of Class C subnets?
7 Will you deploy more than 8 CAS servers?
