Starwind Replication to DR Site
-
Of course if your talking about doing starwind between the business site and the DR location, what kind of bandwidth do you need?
I know Hub has 10 mil ping times.

I know Hub has 10 mil ping times.Bandwidth is 100% determined by the delta rate. Ping of 10ms is pretty crippling for storage.

This topic was forked from another. It is, to the best of my knowledge, the first thread fork that we have done as the feature is relatively new. Unfortunately there is no indication from where the thread was forked so the context is lost. Not as good of a forking mechanism as I would have hoped.

Would be good if the fork function left a link here back to the post right before this in the prior thread.

And a link where the forked posts came from to here, too.

Of course Scott's right, bandwidth is a function of change... but the 10 ms is probably a killer for any type of real time syncing.
-
Even 1ms will be noticed for full sync storage. If you had no data to write it isn't bad. But if you write at all, the delay as you write and wait for confirmation is a killer.

Don't do it synchronous way. Not even needed to beg for troubles. Bandwidth is not free and unless these are two buildings on same campus I see it as an overkill: I'm personally not a big fan to replicate whole sites or virtual LUNs. Smaller objects like running VMs (Hyper-V Replica or Veeam Replication) are better candidates for that.

Does Starwind provide any tool for an async DR site replication? Or is it recommended to just use a different tool for that?
