Data Replication supports alternative data replication topologies to meet your replication needs.
Common topologies are:
One source to one target
. Replicates data from a single source to a single target.
One source to multiple targets
. Replicates data from a single source to multiple targets.
Multiple sources to one target
. Replicates data from multiple sources to a single target.
Bidirectional replication
. Replicates data bidirectionally for a pair of databases.
Cascade replication
. Replicates data across a series of databases.
Data Replication is flexible and adapts to your network configuration. You can deploy Data Replication components on a single system for local replication or on different systems for distributed replication across your environment.
