Abstract
A method, apparatus and program storage device for providing web services-based data replication for heterogeneous storage systems. A web services interface is provided in a storage subsystem to provide access of replication functions of the storage subsystem by a remote requesting agent. The web services interface may also authenticate a remote requesting agent and data encryption to ensure privacy. The web services interface may also break the volume being replicated into junks of a predetermined size for later merging to form the volume at the remote requesting agent.
