In this article
On-host replication can be used when you replicate VMs both over LAN and the WAN. This scenario requires the following replication infrastructure components:
- Source host. The source-side Data Mover Service runs on the source host.
- Target host. The target-side Data Mover Service runs on the target host.
- [For snapshot replica] Backup repository for storing replica metadata.
- [Optional] WAN accelerators.
No additional infrastructure components are required. Note, however, that the source-side Data Mover Service may cause additional overhead on the source host.
