A three-tier management solution is for large and complex replication environments consisting of ten or more Replication Servers. RMS is applicable only for a three-tier management solution.
The Replication Manager connects to the servers in the environment through RMS. RMS provides the monitoring capabilities for the replication environment.
RMS monitors the status of servers and other components in the replication environment, and the Replication Manager plug-in provides the client interface that displays the status information provided by the RMS.
