Replication is the process by which selected tenants and namespaces are maintained on two or more HCP systems and the objects in those namespaces are managed across those systems. Typically, the systems involved are in separate geographic locations and are connected by a high-speed wide area network. This arrangement gives geographically distributed data protection (called geo-protection).
Replication is configured by the creation of links, each of which establishes a secure trust relationship between two systems. The replication link determines what is replicated between the two systems and how data is transmitted between the systems.
