  • 1.  Managing clients in a remote site using replication over WAN

    Posted Oct 15, 2014 02:56 PM

    My boss and i were wondering how could we manage clients from a secondary site, wich is conected via WAN to our primary site, without being overwhelmed by the amount of traffic between both (given it's a slow link). I figured we could install a replication server on site B, having all clients managed locally with this server, and then replicate the datta to our primary site, where we already have a SEPM server running.

    We want to avoid clients from site A reporting to our SEPM on site B and clients from site B reporting to SEPM on site A. Is this possible?

    Also, i'm not really sure if replication would work properly.

     

    What do you guys think?

    Why don't you set up a GUP at the remote site to hand out content to the clients?

    Because we can't have traffic between the SEPM and the secondary site at all times. We prefer having the clients sending information to a local server, then scheduling replication at a time no one's working and have more bandwidth to do so.

    Then yes you could do replication and only replicate one way...from remote to primary and it can be scheduled.

    Even when you configure the replication partner . Its gonna spike your traffic.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    I would like to ask you how important it is to install additonal SEPM? Ideally we do recommend to use GUP at WAN locations.

    I would suggest to go through this article:

    Replication and considerations.

    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/replication-and-considerations

    If you could provide more network details it would more easy to analyze.

    1) Bandwidth size between both the sites.

    2)  Database Size on the Primary site.

    3) Number of SEP clients per site.

    4) SEPM version.
