Question : Problem: Which is the best tool to replicate files/folders in real-time between India to US over 2MB MPLS.

We are using Windows 2003 Servers at India and US datacenter. Our requirement is to copy incoming files from our vendors to US servers in almost realtime. We have used rcopy, rsynch, ftp, smb transfer tools but have not been able to achieve almost realtime replication.

The files recieved from vendors on India server are trickle-feed and hence we continue to get files worth 10MB to 30MB which needs to be available on US server almost instantenously.

US and India office is connected over 2MB MPLS.

Please reccomend the best tool which can create multiple sessions to copy same file and yet not hog the b/w.
