SQL Server: Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication

It is often necessary to have the same database running in multiple servers. With transactional replication, several instances of the same database can run in completely different servers and communicate to each other. All the insert, update, delete operations are synced between the databases.

    • Higher availability if maintenance is required or in case of failure at one server.
