Yes, this is no longer a Mailbox server role calculator; this calculator includes recommendations on sizing Client Access servers too!)
After you have determined the design you would like to implement, you can follow the steps in the Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Design Example article within the Exchange 2010 Online Help to calculate your solution’s CPU, memory, and storage requirements, or you can leverage the Exchange 2010 Mailbox Server Role Requirements Calculator.
The calculator is broken out into the following sections (worksheets):
Input
Role Requirements
Activation Scenarios
Distribution
LUN Requirements
Backup Requirements
Log Replication Requirements
Storage Design
Based on the above input factors the calculator will recommend the following architecture, broken down into four sections:
Environment Configuration
Active Database Copy Configuration
Server Configuration
Log, Disk Space, and IO Requirements

Microsoft Exchange Server Jetstress 2010
Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP1, Exchange Server 2010
Jetstress 2010 works with the Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 database engine to simulate the Exchange database and log disk input/output (I/O) load. You can use Jetstress 2010 to verify the performance and stability of a disk subsystem prior to putting an Exchange 2010 server into production.
Jetstress helps verify disk performance by simulating Exchange disk I/O load. Jetstress simulates the Exchange database and log file loads produced by a specific number of users.
You use Performance Monitor, Event Viewer, and the Exchange Server Database Utilities (Eseutil.exe) tool in conjunction with Jetstress to verify that your disk subsystem meets or exceeds the performance criteria you establish. After successful completion of the Jetstress disk performance and stress tests in a non-production environment, you will have verified that your Exchange 2010 disk subsystem is adequately sized (in terms of performance criteria you establish) for the user count and user profiles you have established.
Important:
Jetstress testing should be performed before you install Exchange on the server.
