How do I calculate if my client has enough bandwidth to have it's servers hosted within the cloud?

Question

Hi,
How do I calculate if my client will have a fast enough connection speed to have it's servers hosted within the cloud?
I come from a BI background so I am thinking of multi-billion record data sets, multiple users, etc.
Of course I also have projected future growth in mind.
Is there a white paper to guide me on best practice in this area?
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

hi Kieran,
Thanks for your posting!
It seems that you need make a load testing  about your project. And I recommend you could refer to this documents(
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj953500.aspx ) and (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh369930.aspx
). About Best Practices for the Design of Large-Scale Services on Azure Cloud Services, you could see this article :
