Hi<br />
<br />
Here i have a fairly straight forward network of 4 sites, currently with 2 file servers at 2 of the sites which the other 2 rely on. <br />
<br />
The load on these servers is increasing, also the location of people needing constant access these servers is constantly changing. Creating stress on my already expensive WAN. All users access the various shares via mapped network drives defined using logon scripts. <br />
<br />
My question is can i implement some sort of &quot;dynamic&quot; replication, where a copy is present on each file server and they are somehow keep each other updated independently of the users. <br />
Or is this wishful thinking and am I living in a dream world!<br />
<br />
Both servers are Windows 2008 standard edition. <br />
<br />
If i can find some sort of reasonable solution i will probably locate another file server in the 2 remaining locations. <br />
<br />
Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated. <br />
<br />

File Server Replication

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis
