of I/O transactions per second, read-write latency and the number
of Microsoft Exchange* users deployed on a server.
Combined Solutions Group:
- Consumer Solution: HCL Technologies*

within a building.
- Business Productivity Solution:
Microsoft for its Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Essentials. Small
