Site Recovery Manager architecture

3.2 Array-based replication: dual protected site
This configuration (shown in Figure 2) is generally used when both sites have virtual machines that need to
be protected by SRM. In this example, each site has virtual machines that must be protected by SRM. Each
site replicates its virtual machines to the opposing site where they can be recovered. Both a DSM Data
Collector and DSM Remote Data Collector are deployed, which allows one Data Collector to be available for
SRM operations in the event of an unplanned outage.
