Windows 2003r2 or later / Mac OS X 10.6 or later / Linux running Tomcat 6 or 7.052 or later.In this configuration, MirrorSync should be set to sync fairly often, such as every 5-10 minutes. For instance, if you have an online storefront running with MySQL or Oracle at a remote data center, but you need to have instant access to all of the orders in a database running on FileMaker Server, MirrorSync can selectively sync certain SQL tables to FileMaker, even if the table and field names do not match. For integration with non-FileMaker databases, MirrorSync is the simplest and most efficient way to accomplish this.This means that each server only needs to work with 1/2 or less of the total users, and if one server goes down, the other server can take over the entire workload seamlessly. To maximize performance and reliability, MirrorSync can be used in a clustering configuration, where two or more servers are running at the same data center and synchronized so that they all contain the same set of data.In this configuration, MirrorSync should be set to sync very often, such as every 30-60 seconds. Each workgroup works at full LAN speed on their own FileMaker Server, and MirrorSync takes care of keeping the servers in sync with each other, so that each workgroup can see and edit changes made by the other group. For groups of users at multiple locations, MirrorSync should be used in server-to-server mode, where an identical copy of the database is installed on FileMaker Server in each location.The user could sync when they first came into the office, work on their local copy throughout the day, and sync at specified times (or on demand) to push and pull the latest data to the server. MirrorSync allows each user to take a local copy of the database which would run on the user's machine and not be affected by the WAN performance. If, for example, you have multiple users connecting to FileMaker Server over a wide area network (WAN) you could notice a substantial slowdown, as every change is immediately written back to FileMaker Server.
