How can I use WAFS?
Deploying WAFS is simple. The most common way to mirror existing data is to select existing folders (on any local disk or an NTFS drive, such as a SAN or RAID). WAFS will keep it completely synchronised with a folder on any number of remote file servers at any distance.
WAFS ensures that all files are identical on all systems. No matter how rapid files change on any system, all other systems have the identical files. Files always open and users are always guaranteed the latest version.
WAFS supports native file locking in real time. No possibility of file conflicts.
What type of sharing does WAFS support?
Many users, on the same LAN and in remote geographical locations, can use the same files concurrently. The data is always fully synchronised; any change to a file at one server is immediately reflected at all other servers. WAFS extends the LAN concept over the Internet and provides real-time disaster recovery.
