Site Recovery Manager architecture

3.5 vSphere replication: dual protected site
The architectural changes with vSphere replication are carried into the active/active site model. In each
vSphere replication architecture diagram (Figure 4 and Figure 5), replication is handled by the vSphere hosts
using the vSphere network stack. An array-based SRA is not present in this architecture. Note that these
figures do not provide representation of all the components of vSphere replication. A deployment of vSphere
replication consists of multiple virtual appliances at each site and on each vSphere host that handles the
movement of data between sites. Go to VMware Documentation for a detailed look at vSphere replication.
