HNREL04-BP04 Provision sufficient network capacity
Provision enough network capacity so that the failure of a single network connection does not overwhelm or degrade the remaining redundant connections.
Desired outcome: Maintain performance and service levels during network outages or planned maintenance by ensuring available bandwidth meets business needs.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Avoids performance bottlenecks during failover
-
Ensure sufficient capacity for critical workloads at all times
-
Supports scalability and growth in hybrid environments
-
Enhances customer and user experience
Implementation guidance
-
Analyze peak and average bandwidth requirements for hybrid workloads.
-
Size redundant connections so any one connection can handle the full load if others fail.
-
Monitor bandwidth usage and adjust capacity proactively.
