1. A method comprising: receiving, by a storage server, an operation for local storage hosted by a first storage controller having a synchronous replication relationship with a second storage controller hosting remote storage; splitting the operation to create a replication operation for the remote storage; responsive to the operation corresponding to a data operation and the replication operation corresponding to a replication data operation, implementing the data operation upon the local storage and the replication data operation upon the remote storage in parallel; and responsive to the operation corresponding to an offloaded operation and the replication operation corresponding to a replication offloaded operation, implementing the offloaded operation upon the local storage and the replication offloaded operation upon the remote storage in parallel.
