Central-to-Branch Configuration
In a central-to-branch scheme, illustrated in the following figure, subsets of a central database are designated for replication to branch sites. The diagram shows read-only targets, but central-to-branch is often combined with peer-to-peer. In this arrangement, branches can update information from headquarters or create their own data and send the new data back to headquarters.
