At Ignite 2017 and 2018 we began telling you about the Meta Cache Database feature we’re using in the O365 cloud service to improve scenario performance and store more mailboxes on ever-growing hard disk drives (HDDs). If you have not had a chance to join us at Ignite or would like a refresher, here are the two sessions:
- Ignite 2017 – Exchange High Availability and Storage for Insiders
- Ignite 2018 – Email search in a flash! Accelerating Exchange 2019 with SSDs
For those of you who have been itching to try this out, there’s good news! Not only did we ship MCDB in the Exchange Server 2019 release, we now also have a setup guide available that outlines how you can use a new PowerShell script cmdlet to deploy this feature. For all the details, head on over to Microsoft Docs and read on:
