Network CapacityCapacity planning is criticalEstimate rate of data changeEstimate for peak usage and effective network bandwidth

Network ThrottlingUse Windows Server 2012 QoS to throttle replication traffic

Throttling based on the destination subnet

New-NetQosPolicy “Replication Traffic to 10.0.0.0/8” –DestinationAddress 10.0.0.0/8 –MinBandwidthWeightAction 40

Throttling based on the destination port

New-NetQosPolicy “Replication Traffic to 8080” –DestinationPort 8080 –ThrottleRateActionBytesPerSecond 100000

Network Utilization

Replicating multiple VMs in parallelHigher concurrency leads to resource contention and latencyLower concurrency leads to underutilizing

Manage initial replication through schedulingManage delta replication

Network bandwidth Ideal number of parallel transfers

1.5 Mbps, 100ms, 1% packet loss

300 Mbps, 10ms, 1% packet loss 10

Backup copy to seed Initial ReplicationBack-up Primary VM

Concurrent backup and replication are handled seamlesslyRestore of Primary VM requires resync

Back-up Replica VMReplica VM turned offBackup is on hold when VHD is modified by replicationRestore of replica VM requires resync

Backup Interoperability

Impact on primary serverStorage space: Proportional to writes in the VMStorage IOPS on ~ 1.5 times write IOPS

Impact on replica serverStorage space: Proportional to the write-churn

Each additional recovery point ~10% of the base VHD size

Storage IOPS: 0.6 times write IOPS to receive and convert

3-5 times write IOPS to receive, apply, merge for additional recovery points

Memory ~50MB per replicating VHD CPU impact <3%
