+As [partition](../event-hubs-features.md#partitions) is a data organization mechanism that allows you to publish and consume data in a parallel manner, we recommend that you balance scaling units (TUs, PUs or CUs) and partitions to achieve optimal scale. In general, we recommend a maximum throughput of 1 MB/s per partition. Therefore, a rule of thumb for calculating the number of partitions would be to divide the maximum expected throughput by 1 MB/s. For example, if your use case requires 20 MB/s, it is recommended to choose at least 20 partitions to achieve the optimal throughput.
