Web site replication

Ektron has released a new integrated Site Replication tool that allows organizations to automate the movement of site changes from a staging to a production (or live) server. Staged changes can be automatically synchronized with the live site--ensuring failsafe security and quality assurance, Ektron claims.

The company says the entire process of mirroring, or synchronizing, a Web site is done through the Ektron CMS400.NET user interface and requires virtually no complex configuring of hard-to-use and expensive third-party applications. An Ektron CMS400 Web site can also be replicated rapidly on an additional server, any time and from anywhere, says the company. It adds that organizations can take advantage of the new feature as part of Ektron's Web content management infrastructure and also for the integrated document management functionality recently added to Ektron CMS400.NET.

Ektron's Site Replication feature also supports load-balancing for dynamic, high-traffic Web sites that require multiple servers to handle high-volume traffic. A Web site can also be mirrored automatically over several Web servers.
