Understanding Exchange Databases Disk Consumption

Overview Exchange databases need disk space, once they run out of disk space they can not continue to function. This paper describes and explains the way that Exchange databases use disk space. Exchange databases are based on the JET engine, actually a variant of the JET engine called Extensible Storage Engine (ESE). ESE is a multi-user database that supports full Data Manipulation Language (DML) and Data Definition Language (DDL). ESE is optimized for fast retrieval of data since this is the main function that the database performs. Examining the versions of the ESE engines used by the different versions of Exchange server will uncover the fact that there is a difference between Exchange 5.5 and Exchange 2000/2003.
