Estimating replication overhead

  • Hello!

    I'm in the process of exploring replication options. Transaction replication with push subscription seems desirable, but it also has significantly more overhead.

    How do I estimate the replication overhead? Is there a formula of some sort?

    Thank you in advance for any advice you can give.

  • Hi Kim,

    Not aware of a formula of any kind. A good start is to identify the amount of transactions per hour during business and off-business hours. Taking regular log backups on your potential published database can help to see when there are peaks and when there are off-peaks. And then, what kind of network will you use between the publisher and the subscriber(s). And how many subscribers ? It depends on many factors.

    Can you give a little more details on your targetted architecture ?

    Thanks,
