Abstract
Techniques for predicting data replication performance degradation are described. According to one embodiment, a method starts with receiving periodically data replication characteristics from a source storage and a target storage, the periodically received data replication characteristics being extracted from a replication process of the source storage replicating data to the target storage. The periodically received data replication characteristics are analyzed at a replication management server communicatively coupled with the source storage and the target storage, and a predictive modeling are applied. When the possibility of degradation of replication performance reaches a predetermined threshold, a notification is sent out.
