A method is used in managing remote replication in storage systems. The method monitors network traffic characteristics of a network. The network enables communication between a first storage system and a second storage system. The method predicts a change in at least one of an application demand of an application of a set of applications executing on the first storage server and a network state of the network, where the set of applications have been identified for performing a replication to the second storage system. Based on the prediction, the method dynamically manages replication of the set of applications in accordance with a performance target associated with each application.
