UNNING WITHOUT
If you plan to use one or more dedicated links of 1Mbps or more, you may wish to increase your
system's performance by running without Carbon Copy.
For each Platform, the chart below compares the maximum throughput supported with remote
management (running Carbon Copy) compared to the maximum throughput supported with
running only a local console (running without Carbon Copy). As shown, the higher the maximum
throughput supported, the greater performance improvement there is when Carbon Copy is not
running.
768Kb
Legend:
Note: The above graph represents the guaranteed throughput without CRC errors. The actual
throughput may be higher.
