StorageMAP replication components can be deployed in any way - one proxy against multiple storage servers, many proxies to one storage server, and any other combination as long as the proxies are connected to both the source and target system.
Figure 7 shows the logical components that are involved in the functioning of file Replication using StorageMAP components.
For details about the system requirements for DobiMiner Core and Proxy, see StorageMAP system requirements.
Note: To validate the replication use cases on SMB and NFS protocols, universal proxies are used.
