Enterprise Replication
Posted in 2012
Topics: High Availability & Replication, Licensing & Editions
I plan to use Enterprise Replication for replicating information amongst multiple IDS instances. Regarding this I had few queries: a) Can there be two different sets of replicates configured between different nodes. For e.g. consider the below scenario: i) Replicate 1 - Nodes A and B replicate table X information amongst themselves ii) Replicate 2 - Nodes A, B and C replicate table Y information amongst themselves b) Whats the level of scalability offered by ER in terms of the number of nodes which can be inter-connected in Update - Anywhere topology. Also, whats the scalability offered in terms of number of bytes which can be transferred. c) Is ER IPv6 compliant. I mean the interface on which replication takes place, can that be IPv6 interface. d) What are the licensing terms for ER. Do I need a separate license for ER if I already have license for normal IDS

Also,= whats the scalability offered in terms of number of bytes which can be transferred. MP said "We have customers with up to 150 nodes" c) Is ER IPv6 compliant. I mean the interface on which replication take= s place, can that be IPv6 interface. MP said ER is IPv4 and IPv6 agnostic. ER uses the standard server communicatio= n layer to communicate. d) What are the licensing terms for ER. Do I need a separate license fo= r ER if I already have license for normal IDS MP said No special licensing if you have the enterprise edition. ***********************************************************************= ******** Forum Note: Use "Reply" to post a response in the discussion forum. =
How costly is it to replicate blobs. Is ER FIPS compliant
It is not costly to replicate blobs with ER. There is support for network encryption, but I wouldn't say that 100% of FIPS is even related to ER.

Is ER JITC compliant.
