VMware has published a document on best practices for Exchange 2016 on VMware vSphere:
http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vmware-microsoft-exchange-server-2016-on-vsphere-best-practices-guide.pdf
Most Exchange servers will probably be installed as VMs, so I think the document is well worth reading.
I find the part about Exchange 2016 on all-flash storage quite interesting, but you can read that for yourself...
HP has also published a guide, but this one is a little more specialized (C7000 Blade Enclosure and BL460c Gen9 Blades with DAS Storage):
