Novell IFOLDER 3.8 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual page 33

In this scenario, the server must always be online and the file service must be available at all times.
Novell iFolder provides an excellent solution for the user to work on the local copy and to update the
central iFolder server with the latest document copy at regular intervals. Because updating the
document is delta-based, very little data is transferred across the wire.
A single-server cluster enables users to have their documents in sync with others and also ensures
that the latest version of a document is available on the server. This protects user data from an
unanticipated crash of the local system. The organization consumes less bandwidth by uploading
only deltas and ensuring that users work only on a local copy. A single-server cluster with iFolder
enables the organization to be continuously productive and provides a very good document
collaboration environment.
