How about some-one going the otherway - more improbable ???. Multi-site STAR about to be broken down to a (single-CEC) ring of monoplexes. True ...
I did some numbers on the environment - CATALOG is a *BIG* contributor to GRS traffic. Historically, this customer has some catalogs on "mixed" volumes, and so converts IGGV2. Placing a few usercats on their own volumes and allowing the RESERVE to stand more than halved the GRS traffic. Doing likewise to the (shared) MCAT will halve the remainder - at least. You might all be surprised how much action your mcat(s) attract. Things can be done in preparation, but the change to ring mode instills dread. Shane ...
