Data formats

Data Replication works with connections to and from select types of data sources and formats. For more information, see Supported Data Replication connections.

The Data Replication is configured as an asset type that you add to a project. After you install Data Replication, one replication instance is made available for the admin user. If you have credentials for the admin user, you can log in, and start replicating data using the provided instance.

In addition, you can administer instances, provide access for other users, and provision additional instances for Data Replication.

You can use the multi-cloud technology and architecture to replicate data to and from supported data sources and targets.
