This would seem to be a useful configuration for an enterprise with many large and fairly independent sites. A large organization of this nature might have 100-1,000 such sites. This may be optimized by data replication configuration. Supports addition of new replicas. Deals with incremental changes, with high performance and low latency.
Replication can be 'push' or 'pull'.
Replication must be secure. Using replication to extract all of the data out of an organization's directory is a severe security threat. Data Administration, Knowledge and Replication Replication has an important tie-in to the data administration functions discussed above. If data is to be replicated, either by a replication protocol or by data caching, it is essential that the data administration is common to the servers. For example, if one server has a specific mechanism for controlling which users can access data, it only makes sense to replicate this data into servers which have the same access control mechanisms.
