vSphere replication also supports the active/active site model (see Figure 4). In each vSphere replication architecture diagram, replication is handled by the vSphere hosts that use the vSphere network stack. An array-based SRA is not present in vSphere replication architecture. These figures do not represent 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.
Note: You can use vSphere replication to replicate virtual machines that are based on PowerStore NFS and vVols. Alternately, consider using RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines.
