I am looking for advice on what the perfect hardware and setup would be for a company receiving about 250GB a year of e-mail and wanting to archive all emails, incoming, outgoing and internal. Do you have some recomended hardware spec's?

Also, if one can afford it, is MS SQL the best database backend to use?

250GB of emails from how many mailboxes? Do they have large attachments? Which verison of Exchange?
Yes, MS SQL is the recommended RDBMS to use but "Firebird" is indeed the "best" b/c it's FREE. However, that firebird has an insatible appetitit for available disk space and it doesn't support SQL audit!

100 Mailboxes, not large attachments, but many of the 1MB size. 2003 Exchange Enterprise. Money is not the issue here, doing it right is. Hope this helps... and thanks ahead of time.
