Appendix A. Measurement of Migration Agent for Exchange Performance

This section contains performance test results of a single Migration Agent for Exchange instance that performs mail data migration from Exchange Server 2010 to Exchange Server 2013.

Performance test results:

  • Maximum memory consumption per instance is about 1000 MB.
  • Average data processing speed per instance is 3.5 GB per hour.

Configuration of the Test Environment:

Server Role Server Operating System CPU RAM, GB
Exchange Server 2010, source Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 4 vCPUs (Intel Xeon E5-2665) 34
Exchange Server 2013, target Windows Server 2012 8 vCPUs (Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2) 30
Agent host Windows Server 2012 R2 8 vCPUs (Intel Xeon E5-2670) 15
SQL server 2008 R2, Migration Manager console Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 2 vCPUs (Intel Xeon E5-2665) 17

Network speed: 1 Gbit/s.

Appendix B. Migrating Large Public Folders to Exchange 2013 (or Higher) and Office 365

Unlike Exchange versions 2010 and earlier, in Exchange 2013 or higher and Office 365 public folders are stored in public folder mailboxes, and size limit for such mailboxes is 100GB for Exchange organization and 50GB for Microsoft Office 365. Therefore, if public folder content in source organization is larger than the limit on the target, then to migrate it you will need to perform specific steps described in this section.

Important: Currently, Migration Manager for Exchange processes public folders of source Exchange 2013 or higher organizations as a single list of public folders ignoring their actual division by public folder mailboxes. Therefore, you need to plan public folder migration from an Exchange 2013 or higher organization according to information in this section in the same way as for Exchange 2010 and earlier organization.
