Overview
PeerLink is an enterprise real-time, multi-directional, distributed, file locking and synchronization technology that ensures the same data exists on all participating host servers regardless of where changes occur. It also prevents users on disparate networks from accessing a file that is in use by a user on another network. A file collaboration session consists of two or more participating hosts, and a folder hierarchy called the Watch Set, located on each host, which will be kept synchronized by propagating file locks and modifications to all participating hosts in real-time.
