data to be transferred.
 HP Remote Snap replication technology provides the ability to accomplish key data
management and protection capabilities. First, because Remote Snap uses snapshots as the
underlying technology it creates multiple local recovery points which can be used for such
tasks as to complement daily backups; second, replication provides the ability to access data
in a remote site which could be used for dispersed operations; and third but definitely not
least important replication allows for business continuance in the event of a failure on the
primary site.
 In order to perform a replication, a snapshot of the volume to be replicated is taken, creating
a point-in-time image of the data. This point-in-time image is then replicated to the
destination volume by copying the data represented by the snapshot via a transport medium
such as TCP/IP (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel. The amount of data transferred is minimized though
the use of snapshots whenever possible.

(NOTE: One license per array is required for replication. For example, if you have
two P2000 arrays performing replication (from Primary system to Remote System),
you will need 2 licenses).
