Abstract
A first cloud is provided with a first abstraction layer between a first instance of an application and a first set of different storage types. A second cloud, remote from the first cloud, is provided with a second abstraction layer between a second instance of the application and a second set of different storage types. A replication protection appliance (RPA) is connected between the first and second abstraction layers. The first abstraction layer intercepts a write command from the first instance of the application to storage of a particular type among the first set of different storage types. The first abstraction layer sends a copy of the write command to the RPA. The RPA replicates the write command to the second abstraction layer for the second abstraction layer to send to corresponding storage of the particular type among the second set of different storage types.
