Question16: A customer is investigating replicating data between IBM Storwize V7000 for DR purposes and has made the following calculations to help determine the correct capacity for the intersite link.
Customer formula used
Amount of data replicated within 24 hours, multiplied by 4 (to allow for peaks and re-sync), translated into bit rate over the 24-hour period.
Customer calculations
- 2 GB of data per day
- 2 GB * 4 = 8 GB of data
- 8 GB * 8 bits = 64 GB / 86400 seconds
