WAN Replication-Looking for robust solution

[Aisha]

We are replicating 75GB of delta changes daily out of a data set of nearly 1TB over a WAN connection. Currently we are using robocopy to copy the deltas but it is very slow. We are looking at your TCP RTA feature in GS richcopy 360 ent. Would this help? how?

Thank you for reaching out and providing great details. Yes, the TCP RTA copy is cerainly what you need when you are copying over WAN connections. The issue you are seeing is because Robocopy and any other tool that relies on SMB will have issues copying when there is latency. The TCP RTA basically you install the normal client on the source (or close to the source) and the RTA agent (lightweight) goes on the destination and the copying takes place over a single TCP port (of your choice but default is 8008). This bypasses the need to use SMB and the copying is then siginificantly improved. You can couple this with the option to compress blocks while in-transit which can compress the data only while copying by as much as 90%. You can reference this video to learn more:
