This technical article compares the scalability of Exchange 2000 Server running with Windows 2000 Advanced Server to the scalability of Exchange Server 5.5 running with Windows NT 4.0 Enterprise Edition. This comparison simulates the real-world usage of a large population of simulated POP and SMTP users. The Ziff Davis Email Server Test Tool (ZDESTT) was used to make this comparison. The results of the comparison, using large numbers of simulated users, show a significant scalability and performance increase from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000.
