title: Microsoft Sync Framework - Performance and scalability
body: <p>I am trying to use Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 on a SQL Server database. There will be a  high number of concurrent end users, synchronizing with a central database server.</p>
  
  <p>Further specifications are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>1500 concurrent clients connect to 1 central database server
  <ul>
  <li>Client are using MS SQL Server Express 2008 R2</li>
  <li>Server is using MS SQL Server Enterprise 2008 R2</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>Short sync intervals (around 5 minutes)</li>
  <li>Database size will be 5 GB</li>
  <li>A webservice will be used as server-side SyncProvider</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Does anyone have experience with Sync Framework environments similar to this?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is it possible? </li>
  <li>What is important to take into account when implementing this?</li>
  <li>What are the physical limits that I can expect?</li>
  </ul>
