Hi Sherry, Do you have a source document or link that you can share for the Microsoft recommendation referred to below?
Thanks, Deepak From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sherry Kissinger Sent: Monday, February 29, 2016 6:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mssms] RE: CAS vs Stand-Alone Primary - Network traffic question Things to ponder... as you may or may not be aware, having a CAS and primary sites is and never was meant for doing geographical separations. It almost sounds like (with only 10k clients) that each currently separate company "believes" that having two primary sites means something technically. It doesn't. Microsoft's recommendation is that if you were to have more than 1 Primary (and therefore a CAS), those servers would be right next to each other, preferably within the same subnet--because of the replication traffic. They need to be network-wise super close. Make sure you point that out to them in your presentation. That having multiple primaries and CAS does not in ANY POSSIBLE WAY make it "more secure" or "better" or even separated from a rights points of view. If you have less than 10k clients, I know you have to "show them"--but really stress how stupid it would be to have multiple primaries and a CAS. Another thing to ponder... I'm completely confused as to why you would "Start with" going to ConfigMgr 2012. I'm at a loss to understand why you wouldn't go right to Current Branch? You have to migrate clients anyway...

So, we are in the design stage of our SCCM 2012 implementation. Our first decision is to choose between a CAS model or Single Primary Site model. We’ve agreed, in principal, to go with the single Primary model with co-located SQL db. But we need to present both designs. Our company is a newly merged with both previous companies currently running SCCM 2007 and still managing their own clients separately. We are trying to figure out what the network impact will be with the replication traffic of the CAS and two Primary Sites. The merged company will have about 10,000 devices being managed globally. I couldn’t get any definitive answers or ball park numbers through Google research. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
