| **Source (typically on premises)** |Primary bottleneck during migration in source is DATA I/O and latency on DATA file which needs to be monitored carefully. |Based on DATA IO and DATA file latency and depending on whether it’s a virtual machine or physical server, you will have to engage storage admin and explore options to mitigate the bottleneck. |

|**Target (Azure SQL Database)**|Biggest limiting factor is the log generation rate and latency on log file. With Azure SQL Database, you can get a maximum of 96 MB/s log generation rate. | To speed up migration, scale up the target SQL DB to Business Critical Gen5 8 vcore to get the maximum log generation rate of 96 MB/s and also achieve low latency for log file. The [Hyperscale](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-sql/database/service-tier-hyperscale) service tier provides 100 MB/s log rate regardless of chosen service level |

|**Network** |Network bandwidth needed is equal to max log ingestion rate 96 MB/s (768 Mb/s) |Depending on network connectivity from your on-premises data center to Azure, check your network bandwidth (typically [Azure ExpressRoute](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/expressroute/expressroute-introduction#bandwidth-options)) to accommodate for the maximum log ingestion rate. |

|**Virtual machine used for Data Migration Assistant (DMA)** |CPU is the primary bottleneck for the virtual machine running DMA |Things to consider to speed up data migration by using </br>- Azure compute intensive VMs </br>- Use at least F8s_v2 (8 vcore) VM for running DMA </br>- Ensure the VM is running in the same Azure region as target |
