Geo-replication systems are designed to provide improved availability and disaster tolerance by using geographically distributed data centers.
Geo-replication software is a network performance-enhancing technology that is designed to provide improved access to portal or intranet content for uses at the most remote parts of large organizations.
Geo-replication software can improve the performance of data networks that suffer limited bandwidth, latency and periodic disconnection.
Terabytes of data can be replicated over a wide area network, giving remote sites faster access to web applications.
To deliver this reduction in the size of the required data updates across a portal, geo-replication systems often use differencing engine technologies.
