StorageMAP components can be deployed in many ways - 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 systems. The recommended deployment for production setups is two proxies.
Figure 7 shows the logical components that are involved in a two proxy file migration 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.
