[danny22]

Hello Every one,

I work for a large organisation with 15 thousand mailbox subjected to email archiving. We currently have EV6 SP5 installed and i am planning to upgrade it to EV 8 SP3. I am doing the case study on this updrage and would really appreciate you help and advice on this.

1.What is the advantage of this upgrade? We don't get any major issues with EV and is there a need for the upgrade and What do we achive?
2. Where can i find the upgrade document?
3.Does the clients on the machines needs to be upgraded?
4current storage is in Netapps and would like to migrate them to EMC?

Thanks,
D
