Add network interface to Azure Data Gateway VM?

We're using some Azure VMs for a Data Gatway - they do OK, but are a bit slower than our on premises one. 

 

Trying sizes, we seem to have passed the CPU bottleneck.  BUt I notice the download speed is quite a bit lower on teh Azure VM, than the local VM. 


Is adding network interfaces to the VM a viable thing to try?

HI @mmace1 

 

I have found that the download speeds are very fast when in Azure. It could be that the connection between the Azure VM and your network is the botttleneck?

 

I have not tried the Network interfaces, because i have worked through the network admin to ensure that the bandwidth (download/upload speeds) are as fast as possible.

@GilbertQ When you say network admin, you mean the admin for the network at your organization, vs. some Azure feature I'm unfamilar with, right? 


Just checking!
