Microsoft Application Basics
Both Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 are applications that process HTTP client requests by web-based application.
The Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 allows developers to write their own HTTP applications which can be replicated to other servers, backed up and take advantage of anti-virus software. However, development on MS Exchange is not easy. Except for the most basic of applications, Exchange 2000 HTTP development is best left to serious developers and development companies.
The Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 allows users to easily create workspaces and collaborative applications. This way, managers and team leaders create workspaces enables document sharing, indexing, versioning and group folders with little to no interaction from the IT staff. This ease with which users can create their own solutions is one of the strong selling points of SPS.
Both Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 are based on similar core technology. Even though the backend technologies are nearly identical, the load on the servers is differs for many reasons. Because of these differences, Microsoft strongly cautions against running SPS and Exchange Server 2000 on the same machine.

F5 ARN: Designed, tested, and documented for Microsoft Applications
Below are examples of the repeatable test results of using F5’s ARN for Microsoft applications:
- Acceleration - End-user client experience improved up to 5x for Exchange Server 2007 and SharePoint Server 2007 deployments (with no changes at all to the applications themselves)
- Optimization - Reduced bandwidth load by 50 percent and server load by 30 percent, saving money and enabling consolidation of resources
- Scalability - Doubled the scale at one-third of the infrastructure cost, providing a repeatable 99.999% availability model.
The F5 ARN was designed for application developers, architects, and network professionals, empowering these teams to leverage F5's network infrastructure resources as a service. It functions as a reusable and open system platform. Key benefits for the user include:
- Improved client application response time by up to 5 times
- Lowered infrastructure and operation costs by 50 percent
- Simplified and unified security to reduce errors, complexity, and costs
- Five nines (99.999) of availability for Microsoft applications
