Advanced Synchronization Architecture

Synchronizing Content To or Between Multiple Folders

MOVEit Central can synchronize content to or between more than two folders. To achieve this, pick one particular folder to serve as a "master" folder and then set up one task for each remote folder with which you wish to synchronize your master folder. (Every related task will have the master folder as "Folder A", regardless of synchronization direction or other options.)

Synchronizing Content To or Between Multiple Remote Sites

MOVEit Central can synchronize content to or between multiple remote sites across the Internet, even if the remote sites have no secure server of their own. To achieve this, MOVEit Central software can be installed at each remote site and a single MOVEit DMZ server can be used as a common, secure and shared repository.

MOVEit DMZ Configuration

If each remote site contains unique content, then a different folder should be set up for each remote site. Otherwise, a single folder containing shared content for all remote sites should be set up. All folders should be set up to ALLOW overwrites and any related user-folder permissions should grant Read, List, Write, Delete and Subs access.

Each remote site should have its own end user account or FileAdmin account. The main data center should also have a FileAdmin account.

Main Data Center MOVEit Central Configuration

If each remote site contains unique content, then a different sync task should be set up for each remote site's folder on MOVEit DMZ. Otherwise, a single sync task to move shared content for all remote sites should be set up. (Every related task will have a MOVEit DMZ folder as "Folder B", regardless of synchronization direction or other options.)

Remote Site MOVEit Central Configuration

Regardless of whether or not each remote site has its own unique content, each remote site only needs a single sync task to sync from either the remote site's unique content MOVEit DMZ folder or a shared MOVEit DMZ folder. (Every related task will have a MOVEit DMZ folder as "Folder A", regardless of synchronization direction or other options.)
