Repository Archtiecture - federated repositories

davidturner90 — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 10:31:25 GMT

Hi,We have a client interested in using Alfresco for content management. The organisation is global and, therefore, offices are geographically distributed around the globe.One concern the organisation has is the performance of adding new content and updating existing content to a central repository.

Regarding the post of Peter Monks (http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13163&p=48112&hilit=federated#p45655), this type of deployment configuration is not yet supported by Alfresco.

But the Roadmap for 2009 (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Roadmap#Enhancements_for_2009) mentions improvements in this area :

Enhance tools and services to simplify the deployment, monitoring and administration in large scale, geographically dispersed and mission critical applications. These tools intend to go beyond the current Spring, Java, and XML based configuration offerings by providing a better administrative experience. 

Support Enterprise Deployments within single and across multiple data centers including repository to repository replication. ‍‍‍

Hope this helps,
Denis

Dear All

I also have soome matching query.
My client has global presence and they want to maintain four document servers
1. Japan
2. Singapore
3. India
4. USA

The requirement is if a person is searching a document from Japan then first he should be directed to Japan Server, if document is not found there then he should be directed to Singapore server and if docment is found there then return or go to India server and so on. If someone is searching from india then first the request should be directed to india server and thereafter to Singapore–>Japan –> USA.

Google is operating in same situation. It is experienced that if a person from Japan is firing a search so appx 90% of his requirement will be met from Japan server itself. Please help me to understand is it possible using Alfresco.
