In today's dynamic global environment, military and civilian government organizations must be positioned to handle an increased deployment tempo to support military and disaster response scenarios. A key challenge is ensuring that "forward deployed" entities can effectively collaborate, communicate and share mission information with personnel at the headquarters location back home. Having distinctly separate 'islands' of SharePoint collaboration is simply unacceptable and represents a risk to their mission.

Syntergy's Replicator for SharePoint offers a unique and powerful solution to address scenarios such as this by enabling organizations to replicate SharePoint content between and among geographically dispersed locations in far flung and bandwidth challenged parts of the world. Users benefit by having the same robust SharePoint experience regardless of their location. Commanders and government executives alike require a common operating picture and real-time visibility into what is going on across their organization.

Remote and forward deployed locations share a number of operational challenges, including:

• Long user wait-times
• Outdated content
• Slow network bandwidth and latency issues

Placing SharePoint servers in geographically distributed locations improves performance for local users, and provides up-to-date content in the event of a network disruption.
