    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system, and computer program product for use in replication comprising receiving an IO at a splitter at a production site from a host, determining if the IO is to a predicted location, wherein a predicted location is a location predicted to correspond to a future write to an image on the production site, and splitting the IO based on the decision.

    Abstract: A method, system, and program product for intercepting an IO from a host running a virtual machine directed to a virtual machine disk at a splitter, wherein the host is being replicated by data protection appliances, adding ordering information to the IO, sending the IO to the virtual machine disk, determining one data protection appliance of the data protection appliances to replication the IO, and sending the IO to the one of the data protection appliances.

    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for determining a consistent point in time in a replication environment comprising determining periods of time that no IO was received from sources; wherein the periods are determined to account for differences between the clocks of the sources and the clock at a replication appliance, adjusting the periods of time that no IO was received by at least one delay factor, comparing the adjusted periods of time from the sources to determine a common period of time; wherein the common point in time denotes that each source was in a consistent state and marking the adjusted point in time as a consistent point in time in a journal.
