Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a source site management server receiving, from first and second potential target site management servers, characteristics of the first and second potential target sites that affect replication of data from the source site to each potential target site. The source site management server receives selection of one or more criteria to be met in the selection of a target site for replication of data. The source site management server determines which potential target site is a better match for the received criteria based upon a comparison of the received criteria with the received characteristics of the target sites. The source site management server configures, automatically in response to the determination, the selected site as the target site for replication of data within the source site.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a target site management server transmitting, to a source site management server, a plurality of protection service plans available for replication of data from the source site to the target site. The transmission of the protection service plans includes a description of one or more service level characteristics provided by each protection service plan and excludes a listing of physical and virtual resources within the target site that are to provide the service level characteristics. The target site management server receives selection of one of the protection service plans and determines the physical resources within the target site to provide the advertised service level characteristics for the data replication. The target site management server further transmits configuration details to one or more of the determined physical resources to implement the replication infrastructure within the target site according to the selected protection service plan.
