PeerSync is a Peer-Level licensed tool. A full license is only required for the
machine where the PeerSync application is installed. Remote connection license(s)
are required for additional machines added to the synchronization/replication scenario.
To our knowledge, Peer Software is the only software company on the market that
offers this economical remote connection license model. All our known competitors
require a full license on each machine, even if synchronization/replication is unidirectional.
There are circumstances where a PeerSync licenses is advantages or required. If
you would like real-time updating on all machines in the replication/synchronization
scenario, a full license is required for each machine. PeerSync needs to be installed
on the source machine where the real-time changes are taking place in order to detect the changes as they occur.
The following guidelines for PeerSync apply:
- PeerSync Workstation Edition will not run on a server.
- All levels of PeerSync include 1 remote connection license (unless bundled in a package).
- PeerSync runs on Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista. (*The Workstation edition will run on a Windows non-server OS only)
|
Additional Remote Connection License
|
 |
- PeerSync includes 1 remote connection license. This gives you the ability to install
PeerSync on one machine (A) and connect to one additional remote machine (B).
- Only one copy of PeerSync needs to be installed on the primary machine (A). No software
is required on (B). Additional connections licenses (C,D, E, F) can be added.
- From A files can be updated to B, C, D, etc. in real-time, on a timed basis, scheduled
basis or on demand.
- From A files can be pulled back from or swapped between B, C, D, etc. on a timed
basis, scheduled basis or on demand.
- Remote target machines B, C, D, etc. can be any network shared drive, i.e. MS Windows/
Novell/Linux (Samba)/UNIX (Samba).
- If you would like real-time monitoring on each MS Windows machine A, B, C, D, etc.
a licensed copy of PeerSync needs to be installed on each machine.

|
Note: Workstation Edition requires that either the source or target
folder resides on the local machine. Please look at the Server Edition for remote
-to- remote synchronization. |
ByteReplicator
|
 |
- The "ByteReplicator" option allows PeerSync to send byte level changes from the
source machine to the target without sending the entire file. The PeerSync application
is installed on the source machine A, and a small application, PSListener (Required
to support ByteReplicator option), is installed on the target machine (B, C, D,
etc). If a file on the source is changed, PeerSync sends just the changed segments
of the file.
- PeerSync allows you to adjust the block segment size. Larger segments require fewer
CPU calculations with larger segments sent across the network while smaller segments
means more CPU calculations with reduced bandwidth requirements.
- An Additional Remote Connection License
is required for each target machine receiving byte level changes.
- PeerSync ByteReplicator runs on Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista.
- ByteReplicator option is not available when using FTP.

Embedded Open File Manager
|
 |
Peer Sync copies open/in use files such as MS Word, Excel, drawing files, picture
files, etc. The addition of the Embedded Open File Manager (EOFM) option allows
PeerSync to copy open and locked source files (i.e. database files, SQL, Exchange,
registry files, etc).
- The Embedded Open File Manager (EOFM) - a component of the Enhanced Package - runs
on MS Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista Operating Systems.
- EOFM will only work on the source machine where PeerSync is installed. EOFM cannot
copy open and locked files from remote machines. If you would like opened and locked
files monitored on each machine A, B, C, D, etc. a licensed copy of PeerSync and
the Enhanced Package needs to be installed on each machine.
- EOFM is a product of the St. Bernard Corporation.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
- The "FTP" option allows you to transfer files to and from an FTP server.
- The use of FTP is limited to a one-way replication without the use of the ByteReplicator
option.
- An available Remote Connection License is
required for each remote device.
* This Option is only available for the PeerSync Server Edition
|
TCP WAN Connector
|
- This optional feature allows for file transfer through the Transmission Control
Protocol Method.
- The TCP option comes with the PSListener agent to be installed on each TCP target
machine.
- An available Remote Connection License is
required for each remote device.
|
Multi-Threading
|
- The "Multi-Threading" option does not require an additional application for either
the source or the target machines. This option is simply turned on for the existing
PeerSync base license.
- The "Multi-Threading" option gives you:
Multiple Job Threads for parallel processing of jobs - this powerful
feature enables both a significant increase in performance, as well as the ability
to scale. Instead of running one job after another sequentially, this capability
uses the full power of the operating system to start and run multiple jobs simultaneously.
For example, if you were distributing software updates from one server to a hundred
other servers, instead of transferring the files to one server at a time, you can
initiate 100 threads at the same time, considerably speeding up the entire process.
Multiple Copy Threads - for parallel processing of files operations
(i.e. file synchronization, file deletion, file move etc.).
* This Option is only available for the PeerSync Server Edition
