RepliWeb Directory Synchronization (RDS)
RepliWeb Directory Synchronization (RDS) is a file replication and directory synchronization software for cross-platform (Windows, Unix, and Linux) . RDS is simple to install, manage, and maintain, scalable and robust. Hundreds of organizations rely on the RDS platform for remote office backups, server migrations, and synchronizing remote CAD and PDM teams.
- Heterogeneous Cross-platform Synchronization - Synchronize Windows, Unix, and Linux servers and appliances
- Delta Only Transfers - Efficiently determine and replicate only those files in the source directory that need to be replicated.
- Advanced Scheduling - Offers truly automated and unattended operations.
- Include and exclude specifications - Allows the most accurate definitions of what should be replicated.
- Network Optimized Transports - Configure LAN, WAN, or large file accelerator transport options to match network and content needs supporting fully automated recovery from failures.
RDS's strengths include reliable file replication and file synchronization over even the flakiest of network environments, and the ability to manage hyper-scale volumes of files and directories. RDS is unique in the sense that the synchronization performance is proportional only to the volume of differences and not to the number of files of folders in total.
RDS offers fully authenticated and secure data transmission over the WAN. It includes centralized management and control via an administrator GUI and offers detailed reporting of all open and complete replications.
Being high-level, and completely non-intrusive application, RDS does not effect the operating system or any other application, does not install device drivers of any kind and does not require reboot to be installed on production servers. RDS requires no dedicated hardware and features remote management and control interfaces.
RDS delivers blazing replication performance by resolving the minimum amount of data that needs to be transferred to targets. In addition to updating new content, RDS synchronization also deletes expired content from target machines.
RDS flexible scheduling ranges from immediate deployment to daily/weekly basis replication to synchronizing on demand or based on triggers from other applications. The replication process is completely secured, enabling encryption and authentication, trusted IP addresses, subnets, users and schedules, as well as the total anonymity of user/password/directory information from one host to another, thus allowing for secure transport between untrusted networks.
Replication processes run in the background, unattended. The scheduling framework provides automated recovery that is resilient to any failure including reboot, power outage, and loss of network connectivity. Failure recovery resumes at the exact point of failure once connectivity is restored.
Either GUI, command line, or API can be used to define, monitor, and control replication processes from anywhere on the network. Centralized reporting and logging options provide replication related data at corporate IT level.
