The new system must support 35,000 users with about 1500 concurrent connections. More than likely the setup will have redundant web front ends (2 servers running SquirrelMail, IMP, etc), 1 mupdate server, 2 frontend machines and 2 backend Cyrus mail stores. It will run on top of Linux (RHEL 4 probably).
We are familiar with UW IMAP server so we have to learn the differences to go to Cyrus, especially the aggregator, backup/recovery, cyradm, etc. So keep that in mind.
If anyone has any data that would even remotely be helpful I would greatly appreciate it. We are comparing Exchange, MiraPoint and this (which is much cheaper) but people now want to compare accurate estimates of people resources to implement it. To me, that is like asking me how long it would take me to learn [place any abstract task here that you have never done].
