PeerLink File Collaboration is an enterprise-level, real-time, multi-directional, distributed file locking and synchronization technology that ensures the same data exists on all participating servers regardless of where changes occur, and prevents users from accessing files that are currently in-use by another user in the session.
A file collaboration session consists of two or more participating servers, and a folder hierarchy called the Watch Set, located on each server which will be kept synchronized by propagating file locks and modifications to all participating servers in real-time.
PeerLink has local and remote characteristics that form the basis of a distributed application framework.PeerLink installations are composed of 3 primary components:
1. PeerLink Hub
|
The Hub is the central component of the PeerLink framework. All PeerLink solutions are installed, configured and started at the Hub.
|
2. PeerLink Broker
|
The Broker makes up the central messaging system that supports PeerLink applications. The Broker provides the core communication facility that connects the Hub and Agents in a PeerLink collaboration environment.
|
3. PeerLink Agent
|
The Agent is a lightweight component that is installed on a networked host that enables it to participate in a PeerLink collaboration environment.
