Hello,
I have a customer who has an office in the UK and an office in the US. They have about 30 employees total. The company's US location has there own servers and the UK has there own servers however they work together a lot. They would like to have a common space where documents are stored, and both offices to be in sync. Where they would like to be, there vision, is to have the servers in the UK be in sync a mirror for files and directories in the US. If someone updates a document in the UK the document on the US server would be updated also. This way they would not have to be working on a file across the Atlantic and deal with the latency. They could work locally on the file and when they save the file the difference or the delta would be sent across to the other server.
Is there some type of architecture that could be put inplace that would replicate the changes between the UK and US offices as they change, and keep the file servers in sync?
One thing I thought of was cloud computing or some type of snap mirror application.
Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated,
Andy

Hi Andy,
The Cisco WAAS solution would enable you to do just this and more. A great advantage is it has the ability to also be integrated as a blade in a Cisco router at the branch office .. Here is a quick overview of the product
