Where to install MirrorSync Server

[DataCruncher]

Hello all - 

 

So I got a larger MirrorSync installation to run beautifully between two FMS15 server sites. Sync times are a charm.

 

My question is what the best practice is to make MirrorSync sync fastest. Currently, our hub server is in a colocation datacenter in Los Angeles with Gigabit connection. 

The spoke server is in our branch office, syncing through a 100/50 Mbit connection. 

MirrorSync server runs in the same datacenter as the hub server. 

 

My question is whether it would make sense to install the mirror sync server at the branch office location instead. That way, mirror sync could connect locally to the spoke server at 1 Gbit, and only pull all changes from the hub server over the 100/50Mbit internet connection. 

The way we have it now, mirror sync at the data center, it would only connect to the spoke server on the 50/100 Mbit connection. 

 

Since I don't know how mirror sync handles data traffic to the hub and spoke server (or if there is any difference at all), I don't know which way is better. 

 

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Robert- If using JDBC with a WAN connection, it’s best to put MirrorSync on whichever end is going to do more write operations. The WAN speed hit for JDBC is much bigger for write operations than reads.

Thanks
