« Realtime Windows Server Opinion Question #12: What is your timeframe for implementing Server 2008? | Main | More Info on Automatic Updates and Auto-Rebooting of Systems After an Opt Out »

Wide Area File Services, Continuous Data Protection, and the GlobalScape Solution

Is your computing environment spread across multiple sites? Do you have file servers in a central location that sloooowly shares files to those remote locations? Did you know that replication technologies have now advanced to the point where you can distribute mirrors of those shares to multiple sites that fully supports locking and multiple user access?

Did you also know that the same technology that mirrors those file shares across any number of sites can also serve as a continuous backup solution for the same data?

I didn't.

At least until I talked with Ellen Ohlenbusch of GlobalSCAPE who clued me in on two of their new products that solve a host of issues associated with file sharing across multiple, dispersed sites. In this podcast, we'll talk about just those issues and how the GlobalSCAPE solution resolves them.

In my experience, as an engineer for a Cisco partner that is also partnered with Riverbed for WAN optimization solutions, I can say that Riverbed is the best of breed technology for application acceleration. I have a lot of comparison data on all the competitors if anyone is interested. Forrester, Gartner, etc... Just shoot me an email.
