Figure 8-3 Multi-Master Replication (Four Suppliers)
Multi-master configurations have the following advantages:
• Automatic write failover when one supplier is inaccessible
• Updates are made on a local supplier in a geographically distributed
environment
NOTE Replication, especially multi-master replication, works better over
high speed links than over slow links such as a WAN used in
geographically distributed environments.
For information on setting up multi-master replication with two supplier servers
and two consumer servers, refer to "Configuring Multi-Master Replication" on
page 306.
