Author  Topic  juliamcd Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2004-12-27 : 14:05:15 I am a newbie trying to plan for replication between two data centers. For budgeting reasons I've been asked to estimate the bandwidth requirements for the replication. Our transaction volume is aprox 500,000 transactions per month, with hourly peaks at around 2000 per hour. Each transaction is about 2K. We will be load balancing between the two data centers. Can anyone recommend an aproximate bandwidth requirement? So far I have had one recommendation of a 10mbps pipe. Thanks!
