6. Audience
If you are responsible for Internet connections for your company offices and you are…
Onboarding to SharePoint Online from SharePoint on-premises
Doing a new Office 365 deployment with SharePoint Online
Adding users to an existing SharePoint Online deployment
Adding SharePoint Online to an existing Office 365 deployment

7. Why is capacity planning needed for SharePoint Online?
With file servers on-premises your users would use high speed Ethernet to access their files
With files in the cloud they are using your Internet connection
Bandwidth is needed to upload and download files
SharePoint Online is very latency tolerant

8. Overview of SharePoint Online bandwidth usage
Web Based File upload and download
Small consumer of bandwidth
SharePoint Web site usage is small in comparison
Company portals
Sync client is the main bandwidth user
Runs anytime a user edits a file
Synchronizes changes from PCs to the cloud
OneDrive for Business initial sync traffic

10. Baselining for SharePoint Online

11. Base-lining to determine bandwidth requirements
Use Netmon to capture traffic and size usage on specific machines
Use monitors on Internet gateway routers to measure total bandwidth usage
Keep track of Internet capacity headroom over time as a standard infrastructure monitor
Use an Office 365 pilot to measure actual usage and create a baseline from that
Actual Internet capacity requirement will be previous usage plus expected SharePoint Online usage
