Configuring Exchange 2010 Databases in large organization best pratice

Hello Experts,

I needed some advice how to configure my users, here the summary of the way the exchange 2010 servers are laid out

We have about 10 dbs running on 3 nodes in a dag enviroment

I have close to 400 mailboxes

Ideally I would like to keep each mailbox under 100 gb

Just wanted to find out the best practice on what criteria is being used when databases are configured and how users are placed

right now mail1 mail2 mail3 mail4 are company 1 about 250 close to users

mail 5 is company2 - about 12 users

mail 6 is company3 about 12 users

mail 7 - temporary holding db

mail 8 - temporary holding db

mail 9 - company 3

mail 10 - temporary holding db.

Thanks a lot,

M
