replication tips

[frankive]

Hi.
We want to give a customer a new server. hyper-v with 1 virtualized server. We want to leverage the older hardware to use for replicaation in case of emergeny.
The new server is a HP DL-360 Gen9 with 32gb ram and Raid10 4 disk 15K SAS and the old server is the same but an G7 server and 10k drives.

How often can i replicate without the system suffocating with performance issues.
I want to achive this if possible:

1 nightly backup
replication between 7 A.M - 3 P.M. every 15 min. so if the server crashes they can become avaiable with a maximum of 15 min. data loss. 15 min. lost is not critical for this customer.

Can i leverage the 4 NIC in the server somehow to reduce load f.ekx.?

Or is the backup io controller a good thing to use here? Eventually what settings you suggest?

Hi Frank,

Depends on the infrastructure. Give it a try to see how it works.
You can enable I/O storage control to throttle tasks if latency goes to high.

NIC teaming sounds good. I would also review the full job statistic first to find out bottleneck.
Thanks!
