The term replication refers to the use of a tool or service to automate the process of maintaining a consistent copy of data from a designated source (primary site) on one or more remote locations (secondary sites).

In the event that the primary site data center is destroyed, the application data is readily available at the secondary site, and the application can be restarted at the secondary site.

SFW HA provides Symantec Storage Foundation Volume Replicator (Volume Replicator) for use in replication. Volume Replicator can be used for replication in either a replicated data cluster (RDC) or a wide area disaster recovery solution.

For more information on Volume Replicator, refer to the Symantec Storage Foundation Volume Replicator Administrator's Guide.
