Performance Testing FIM Synchronization

Applies To: Forefront Identity Manager, Forefront Identity Manager 2010

This section of the guide describes specific performance tests that were conducted on the FIM 2010 R2 Synchronization service to provide information technology (IT) planners with example capacity planning data. While the information in this section can be used as an initial reference point, it is important that you conduct testing that is specific to the environment where you actually deploy Microsoft® Forefront® Identity Manager (FIM) 2010.

Warning

This guide was produced to assist you in capacity planning for your customers, but you should not use it alone to determine the appropriate servers, hardware, or topologies that are required for a FIM 2010 R2 Synchronization service deployment. You are encouraged and expected to configure your own test environments to more accurately estimate capacity and performance. Microsoft cannot guarantee that organizations will experience the same capacity or performance characteristics, even if the FIM 2010 R2 Synchronization service components are deployed and configured identically to the components that are described in this guide.

FIM Synchronization Performance

Performance testing for the FIM 2010 R2 Synchronization service was conducted to evaluate a couple different scenarios so far. The following performance testing conducted so far is shown in the following list:

  1. Small Profile Performance Testing FIM Synchronization

  2. Medium Profile Performance Testing FIM Synchronization

  3. Large Profile Performance Testing for FIM Synchronization (results are pending)
