You can replicate file stores from one site to another site. This process is managed by one Microsoft SQL database. The configuration used in replication is known as a workgroup.
The following illustration shows a typical workgroup configuration. All sites in a single workgroup share the same Microsoft SQL server.
To allow sites to have their own database server to increase SQL performance, Vault uses connected workgroups. The following illustration shows a workgroup with two different sites connected to a second workgroup with a single site.
