Morning all,
Scenario:
Multiple sites, a datacentre and remote users.
The remote users home directories (redirected via Group Policy) are all held on a file server in the datacentre, this is where the Firewall livess where they VPN in for remote access. All use the standard Microsoft offline files to synchronise their data.
When the remote users visit a site they synchronise their files back to the server in the datacentre, this places a significant load on the respectives sites WAN (especially if there are multiple people on the same site doing the same thing).
We're about to implement COS and QOS which should alleviate some of this, but I'm wondering how the rest of you tackle this issue at a technical level. Are you aware of any software which will allow me to synchronise these home directories across multiple sites file servers and update changes at bit level - incrementally. I can force syncs easily using standard file copies and implement DFS but the issue is the amunt of files, any changes suncs the full file, I'm intrested in bit level syncing software that could enable me to accomplish this task.
Any ideas?
