Microsoft Exchange Solution Reviewed Program (ESRP) - Storage v1.2

The Exchange Solution Reviewed Program (ESRP) – Storage is a Microsoft Exchange Server program designed to facilitate third-party storage testing and solution publishing for Exchange Server. The program combines a storage testing harness (Jetstress) with solution publishing guidelines. Microsoft Gold Certified or Certified Storage Partners (storage original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who are part of the Microsoft Certified Partner Program) can use the ESRP framework provided to test their storage solutions targeted for Microsoft Exchange deployment.

• ESRP – Storage v 1.2: Provides Exchange 2003 specific storage solutions, solutions listed below.
• ESRP – Storage v 2.0: Provides Exchange 2007 specific storage solutions, please see the Microsoft Exchange Solution Reviewed Program (ESRP) – Storage v2.0 page for solutions.

To participate in the program, you need to sign up from the Microsoft Storage Partner Extranet and navigate to the download page. If it is the first time you are getting the ESRP package, you will need to request download access. Once you are approved, you can download the ESRP zip file. You can then follow the testing procedure document to complete all the tests, and follow the guidelines in the whitepaper template to develop the solution whitepaper. The Microsoft Exchange product group will review the submitted solution whitepaper and performance data. Reviewed solutions will be linked to from the ESRP Web site.

Note: The ESRP – Storage program is not a Microsoft certification, qualification, or logo program. Microsoft makes no warranties or representations with regard to third-party storage solutions, including without limitation regarding the supportability of such third-party storage solutions. It is solely your responsibility to confirm the accuracy of the data and contents of the storage solution whitepaper you produce using the ESRP – Storage program testing framework.
