Replication Server can access data locally instead of from remote, centralized databases. Compared to a centralized data system, a replication system improves system performance and data availability, and reduces communication overhead. Replication Server provides a cost-effective, fault-tolerant system for replicating data.
Because Replication Server replicates transactions—incremental changes instead of data copies—and stored procedure invocations, rather than the operations that result from execution of the stored procedures, it enables a high-performance distributed data environment while maintaining transactional integrity of replicated data across the system.
