How is licensing SMBR for Microsoft Exchange Server in two controller array with Premium Bundle

Piteros — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:41:02 GMT

Hello,

Could you say, how is licensing SMBR for Microsoft Exchange Server in two controller array with Premium Bundle?

Look at the screen:

We have here SMBR (2500 mailboxes) and two controllers, does it mean that I can use 2 * 2500 = 5000 mailboxes on the array?

Or it's 2500 mailboxes for the whole two controller array?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Usually there two types of license 1) Per server license & 2) Per storage system license ( Per storage system is dedicated to that particular storage )

Refer to this licensing KB :- https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1649824/html/GUID-235441CB-FE13-493C-BA6E-76B91421D529.html

I would suggest reaching your Netapp sales representative in this matter. They should have clear idea about the volume based license.

Thanks,

Nayab
