The DCV product line is very versatile and flexible
in terms of its deployments. It is capable of being able to
support a wide range of deployment topographies from stand-alone
computers to wide-range tiered replication networks. The
database can keep all data locally or can be set up to forward information
onto other servers (either immediately or based on a schedule) and
can even handle communication over periodic connections.
Tiered Structure and Image Forwarding
To support a multitude of deployment topographies,
the DCV solution can be tired to continually forward images
down a hierarchy of storage locations. A typical utilization
of this functionality is for an organization to have local
deployments forward images to a regional repository which in
turn forward images to a global repository.
Using the image forwarding and data replication capabilities
of DCV, these setups are virtually limitless and can be used
to implement any topography required to meet the needs of the
deployment.
