GlobalSCAPE's 100% software solutions inexpensively deliver new levels of acceleration, remote-site file sharing, and continuous backup. The software runs on your existing Windows servers - just load the Agent on a server at one or multiple sites. Only file differences at the byte level, compressed, ever transfer. The software operates in real time, with advanced acceleration and optimization techniques performed end-to-end.
GlobalSCAPE's replication software delivers real-time, global data solutions for all Windows server platforms. The software mirrors multidirectionally between any number of remote servers, without file conflicts, open-file issues, or changes to any LAN, WAN, router, or user configuration.
Wide Area File Services (WAFS) allows branch office users to access and share files over the WAN at LAN speeds through proprietary algorithms that continuously monitor file changes at the byte level and transfer only the differences. WAFS also supports native file locking, so users can access files with WAFS exactly the same way they do on the LAN, except that they can share files and work with any branch office, anywhere, as if it were locally connected.
Continuous Data Protection (CDP) backs up all of your data as quickly as changes are made. If you need to roll back to a previous version of a file, with CDP you can restore that backup to any point in time. The servers back up files to your backup site in real time as they change. The backup site can be at the same location or any remote location. CDP ensures that bandwidth use is minimized and that latency will not affect the integrity and availability of the mirrored data. Should anything happen to your servers, you can failover to the backup or any other redundant backup site. The backup server can keep any number of past versions of each file, including deleted files, and allows you to restore from point-in-time snapshots. You can restore via browser, directly from disk, or you can recreate an entire server transparently over the network.
Enterprise combines the functionality of WAFS and CDP into one package. Run Enterprise on your servers if you need a true wide area file service with file acceleration and real-time mirroring, but you also need continuous file server backup that keeps track of all changes made and allows you to restore data to any point in time.
An example Enterprise deployment at an engineering firm includes the following software:
In Boston, deploy Enterprise to provide a multidirectional solution for engineering files.
In Chicago, deploy WAFS Multi-Directional, which coherently synchronizes the engineering files with the Boston and Denver sites.
In Denver, deploy WAFS Multi-Directional, which coherently synchronizes the engineering files with the Boston and Chicago sites.
Finally, deploy a Backup in NYC, to backup the accounting files.
