File system sharing over network, trust domains, etc. as used on LANappear not efficient and more than difficult to use over private company WAN. In our case, the company network ispresent between some identical simulators and our main central development station. All this in two training centersdistributed over two continents on two independent LANs linked with private company WAN. The “link” cannot beeasily established due to WAN routers, security constraints, etc. as we have no way to adjust those WAN settingswhich are tightly controlled by IT department and by the company security department. The company policy alsoexcludes the use of external data link, modem, etc. We are not able to properly maintain identical softwareconfiguration except by performing all patches manually on each simulators group and maintaining two separate andidentical configuration management databases.• Do other companies have the same problem?• Does L3 have projects to improve remote synchronization function of the simulators?Other user and L3 comments, please.Value of Resolution: Improve Performance, Reduce Workload (Maintenance or Operation), Reduce Costs(Acquisition or Operation)
