Hello Group, I noticed that this topic may have got buried in the wrong thread so please pardon the re-post.
I am trying to push the opportunities that Intermapper can provide. To really make Intermapper a true enterprise application in the eyes of some of our engineers, things like redundancy would make selling Intermapper further in our government department an easier chore. Redundancy The ability to have Intermapper automatically replicate map and chart data between several servers. This could be done manually by copying the Intermapper Settings folder but this introduces the opportunity for people errors. This could also be done by any of several folder replication applications out there, but that introduces yet another application. But, if we had a wish list we would dream to have a system where Intermapper can set up something like an array with one Intermapper replicating to other Intermappers. Icing on the cake would be that an automatic mechanism could be available where one backup Intermapper would start up when the current one "dies". A polling system would have the servers interrogating each other for status and deciding who should be "alive" and who should be in "stand-by". Along the same lines, another interesting idea with the array is to have "repeater" Intermappers. The idea is to have just one Intermapper do the actual polling and have other Intermappers collect info from the live Intermapper and have clients connect to the repeaters. Only the server admin would connect to the live Intermapper. Anybody have any thoughts on these ideas?
