If I recall correctly, snapmirror uses very little bandwidth, and shouldn't be a problem on any modern network. It only copies the blocks which were changed, rather than entire files.
ah yes, sorry that i didn't mention this point...we're doing an initial ndmpcopy over a little gig switch here at the office before moving the filer to the colo.
some of our data is going to be large image files, so we aren't sure yet how much bandwidth the syncs are going to want. i was more concerned about the jerks and jolts and irregular paths you get when you fling data out into the wild...not sure how well netapps handle hiccups in the middle of snapping.
