Implementing a complete Exchange 2007 solution requires not only good planning, but also a good understanding of all the technical requirements and a good knowledge of the several Exchange Server roles.
Sizing an Exchange 2007 Organization is not for the faint of the heart, although I consider it much easier than doing it for the previous versions of Exchange Server.
A correctly sized infrastructure will improve the general reliability of the system and the levels of service (meaning happy users), rationalizing the use of hardware (and money).
