Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for calculating bandwidth requirements is provided. The present invention may include receiving a recovery point objective (RPO). The present invention may also include simulating, using a virtual disk, a set of inter-site data transfers between a first data storage controller and a second data storage controller, wherein the second data storage controller is modelled by the virtual disk. The present invention may then include collecting a set of data correlating to a set of bandwidth factors, based on the simulated set of inter-site data transfers. The present invention may further include calculating, using the virtual disk, a bandwidth required for data replication for disaster recovery, based, at least in part, on the set of bandwidth factors and the RPO.
