Comparison with Siebel Remote

Siebel Replication Manager is based on the same architecture as Siebel Remote. It is very similar to Remote but is different in the following ways:

• Siebel Remote supports data synchronization with Mobile Web Clients. Remote provides each mobile user with a laptop-based extension of the Siebel database and File System. Mobile users can access local data while they are disconnected from the parent Siebel database and File System, and must periodically synchronize their local data with the parent database.
• Siebel Replication Manager supports server-based data replication within a hierarchical set of enterprise servers. Each replicated node in a Siebel Replication Manager deployment supports multiple users. Replication Manager synchronizes data between the parent node and its subordinated nodes. Each subordinate node is an enterprise server containing a subset of users from its parent enterprise server.
