How much of my servers system resources will DFS Replication consume?
The disk, memory, and CPU resources used by DFS Replication depend on a number of factors, including the number and size of the files, rate of change, number of replication group members, and number of replicated folders. In addition, some resources are harder to estimate. For example, the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) technology used for the DFS Replication database can consume a large percentage of available memory, which it releases on demand. Applications other than DFS Replication can be hosted on the same server depending on the server configuration. However, when hosting multiple applications or server roles on a single server, it is important that you test this configuration before implementing it in a production environment.
