SharePoint has been embraced and in use in tactical environments for some years now. In some cases military personnel first learned SharePoint in theater and brought that knowledge back "home" insisting on using SharePoint to solve key collaborative needs (in garrison) when their units are not deployed.

Once back home, what happens to the tactical SharePoint environment and knowledge it contains if the server sits in a warehouse until the next deployment? Wouldn't it be great if a unit could take a copy of their garrison based SharePoint environment with them when they deploy, plug it in to the network once in theater and automatically synch that forward deployed server with the one back home? True lifecycle knowledge management can be achieved in this scenario which enables the unit to "Train how they fight and fight like they train" by collaborating in the same way, using the same tools in all phases of deployment.

Syntergy's Replicator for SharePoint offers a unique and powerful solution to address this 'portability' scenario, allowing an organization to pack-up or take a copy of their SharePoint environment with them as they deploy, store it on a piece of media if necessary, and deploy it or install it on separate hardware in theater. Changes to each SharePoint environment can be saved then synched up post deployment. As with the FOB-ROB scenario, two live environments can be kept in synch real-time or periodically using Replicator.
