Role Requirements Calculator

Question
-
Hi
Is there any word on the predicted availability of the calculator for 2013? I have a potential migration in the pipeline and it would be good to start planning for budgets etc.
Any comparisons around storage use and IOPS requirements compared to 2010 would also be helpful in the interim.
Thanks, Steve

This question has been brought up during conferences the last months, like MEC and TechEd. The message of the Exchange team has been to use the Exchange 2010 tools and work with that output. Then you'll be on the safe side for IOPs because Exchange 2013 requires a little less than Exchange 2010 does.Did my post help? Please use "Vote As Helpful", "Mark as answer" or "Propose as answer".

Hello,
I am afraid there is still no official document to cover this question. But I find a good article for storage preparation. Just for your reference:

Thanks, I guess that will have to do for now.
Cheers, Steve
Update: For anyone reading this thread, the IOPS will in fact decrease by 50% compared to 2010.
