You can add replication services, such as the EMC RecoverPoint Appliance (RPA) or EMC AppSync Application Servers. You can configure a replication service to enable continuous backup and recovery from any point-in-time for LUNs from a storage system.
With the AppSync service, you can also set up protection and service plan (policies) levels for database recovery and failovers.
Before adding a replication service, you must identify the connection information for that service.
