Abstract
A technique includes causing an agent device to setup a replication partnership between a first storage node and a second storage. Causing the agent device to setup the replication partnership includes configuring a proxy server that is associated with the second storage node to establish a secure communication channel for the replication partnership over a public network. Configuring the proxy server includes storing in the proxy server credentials for authenticating the first storage node to use the secure communication channel; and establishing port translations to be used in the secure communication channel in communicating replication data between the first storage node and the second storage node. Causing the agent device to setup the replication partnership may also include communicating replication partnership information to the second node.
