Question related to ActiveCluster for file

Hi all,

Regarding the newly announced ActiveClsuter for file capability, can FlashArray snap the data hosted by the file services, such as SMB or NFS, and replicate this data to a FlashArray located at a DR site?

Thanks

    What is the topology you are looking for? AC for File piggybacks on the AC service, so it is simply realtime I/O being syncrhonously replicated across the network between two arrays and no snapshots are involved. That doesn't mean the file data being replicated also couldn't be snapped under a separate policy and shipped to a remote target for rapid recovery. Was that what you were thinking? Let me know!
