If 2000 you will get a good idea with storage calculator
Now comes what is the total size and what should be the DB size
If three servers i would ideally have 9 DB's and have 3DB's per server (but depends if with this some DB's shouldnt be like 100GB and some 250GB)

Rancy,
As your info, each server has three database. So, Do you mean each server has around 700 mailboxes?

What is the ideal storage for each server? Thanks,
I wouldnt simply say on the number of mailboxes but the Database size ..... we have 4 Servers in DAG and each server holds 2 Database .... each server has 24GB of RAM
Each server at my end has 9TB of SAN storage assigned to them so i dont think its a big issue with much storage

I did read some articles. They stated that the database is around 50-100 GB? Is that correct?
