Abstract
A method for controlling multiple replication processes that includes allocating, by a local storage system and for each replication process, local resources for performing local operations that comprise transmitting remote replication content to a remote storage system; the allocating is responsive to a state of transmission of the replication content and a maximal local storage system allocation threshold; allocating, by the remote storage system and for each replication process, remote resources for performing remote operations that comprise handling the replication content transmitted from the local storage system; the allocating is responsive to a load associated with the handling of the replication content, and a maximal remote storage system allocation threshold; and executing each replication process by the replication process local and remote storage systems resources.
