Floating StoreOnce seeding
In this model co-location takes place at many remote sites using a floating StoreOnce target. The
StoreOnce target is transported between may sites and the taken to the Data Center. It is a useful
model for large-in fan scenarios.

4. Finally take floating Target StoreOnce appliance to Data

3. Move floating Target StoreOnce appliance between

Repeat the process for further remote sites until all data

appliance. You may be able to accommodate 4 or 5 sites
of replicated data on a single floating StoreOnce
appliance.

sites replicating into single target site) the initial replication set up on the floating StoreOnce
appliance changes as it is then transported to the data center, where the final replication mappings
