A complete web protection and replication system! FactotumNOW Web Checking replicates the web files from a staging area on your network to your web servers, notifies you when there have been changes made and removes orphans.

Also, it ensures the files on your website remain consistent at all times and stops web defacement attacks to your website.

Network Example for FactotumNOW Web Checking Engine Setup
Multiple web servers at a separate location hosted in a DMZ. The corporate network is connected to the DMZ through a firewall. Users reside in the corporate network and publish content to a file server that hosts the master copy of the site. FactotumNOW Web Checking then posts the new files to the web servers while also ensuring that no unauthorized changes have been made to the web servers.

Content Publication Workflow
This image displays the publication workflow after FactotumNOW Web Checking has been implemented. The workflow begins with a content contributor adding or changing files on the master copy of the site. The workflow contains two pieces: one part handles the new files, the other part ensures the web servers have not been manipulated and deploys the new content to the web servers.

Another Network Example for FactotumNOW Web Checking Engine Setup
Multiple file servers hosted at a separate location hosted. The different locations are connected over the internet through secure IPSEC tunnels. Users residing in the main corporate network publish content to a file server. FactotumNOW Web Checking then replicates the new files to the file servers in the remote locations while also ensuring that no unauthorized changes have been made to the destination file servers. Additionally, duplicate files are detected (even when their filenames are different) and only transmitted once.

FTP Publication Network Example for FactotumNOW Web Checking Engine Setup
Multiple web servers are hosted at separate locations. Content on the web servers can only be updated through FTP. Users residing in the main corporate network publish web site content to a staging file server. FactotumNOW Web Checking then replicates the new files to the web servers in the different locations through FTP.

Here are some key features of "FactotumNOW Web Checking and Replication":

· allocate a staging area on your network and replicate the web files from there onto your web servers
· allows for operation with several web servers by replicating one content source to several servers
· only one open port required between staging area and web servers (TCP 5432)
· detects duplicate files and only transmits them once (for web servers at remote locations, saves bandwidth)
· compresses files prior to transmission
· retains a full copy of your web site in the PostgreSQL repository which allows for fast rebuilds
· will replicate complete directory structures and files
· file manipulation is detected securely through changes in file sizes and through calculation of two hash codes
· staging area can be on the web server itself
· staging area can be at another site
· full utilization of available bandwidth to achieve a fast replication
· optional email notifications upon changes of the source site
· optional email notifications when changes to the destination site have been committed
· installation takes 10 minutes
· PostgreSQL database server is included in the installation package
· checking interval can be set dynamically from every minute to 180 minutes
· initial synchronization will not replace all files on the web servers if they are not different in content
