Abstract
In one aspect, a method includes intercepting write I/Os going to a volume on a storage array and sending the write I/Os to targets on a plurality of source-side data protection appliances based on a load balancing scheme. In another aspect, an article includes a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores executable instructions. The instructions cause a machine to intercept write I/Os going to a volume on a storage array and send the write I/Os to targets on a plurality of source-side data protection appliances based on a load balancing scheme. In a further aspect, an apparatus includes circuitry configured to intercept write I/Os going to a volume on a storage array and send the write I/Os to targets on a plurality of source-side data protection appliances based on a load balancing scheme.
