RepliWeb offers multiple tools focused on the automated replication, transfer, deployment, and synchronization of data across multiple operating systems. Their current product arsenal includes:

- RepliWeb Directory Synchronization (RDS) is file replication and directory synchronization software for cross-platform environments (Windows, UNIX, and Linux). Current uses include remote office backups, server migrations, and synchronizing remote CAD and PDM teams.

The vendor states that RDS enhances performance by resolving the minimum amount of data that needs to be transferred to targets. In addition to updating new content, RDS synchronization also deletes expired content from target machines.

RDS scheduling ranges from immediate deployment, to daily/weekly basis replication, to synchronizing on demand or based on triggers from other applications. The replication process enables encryption and authentication, trusted IP addresses, subnets, users and schedules, as well as anonymity of user/password/directory information from one host to another, allowing for secure transport between untrusted networks.

Replication processes run in the background, unattended. The scheduling framework provides automated recovery that the vendor states is resilient to any failure including reboot, power outage, and loss of network connectivity. Failure recovery resumes at the exact point of failure once connectivity is restored.

Either GUI, command line, or an API can be used to define, monitor, and control replication processes from anywhere on the network. Centralized reporting and logging options provide replication related data at the Corporate IT level.

- RepliWeb Deployment Platform (R-1) is a Web content and application deployment automation platform that enables the synchronization of local and distributed servers, as well as complete datacenters with the most up-to-date content and code. Target uses include the automation of Web site file publishing, Web content, IIS settings, .NET assemblies, and COM+ components; with support for roll out to one, dozens, or hundreds of physical or virtual servers. Updates occur behind the scenes, with--according to the vendor--no service interruptions, down-time, or impact on end users' browsing experiences. The vendor further states that R-1 can scale to handle infinitely large content repositories without compromising performance or stability.

Integration features include cross platform support, open architecture, and configuration capabilities. There are no restrictions on where you create content and code, in what application environments, or how or when you deploy updates.

- The RepliWeb Managed File Transfer platform (RMFT) enables admins to setup unattended workflows. Workflows, for example, that pull files from specific business applications via FTP, digitally sign them, and then deliver them to various recipients using SMIME, FTP, and RFLA (RepliWeb Large File Accelerator). A variety of tools are at the administrator's disposal for defining and executing workflows, including CLI, a Web Services API, and the RMFT Management Console.

In addition to supporting various transport and security protocols, RMFT adds a guaranteed delivery layer to transports such as FTP and provides an audit of the delivery from start to finish.

Features include:

- Audit trail facilitates compliance with SOX and HIPAA as well as non-repudiation

- Uses a variety of encryption and authentication measures including SSL, digital signatures, shared secrets, smart cards, and hardware tokens

- Supports protocol-independent automatic recovery, guaranteed delivery, and data integrity. Protocols include FTP, FTP/S, SFTP, S/MIME, HTTP/S, SSH, SMB, and RepliWeb's enhanced Large Files Accelerator protocol

- Open architecture facilitates such data processing integration actions as automatic inspection policies, virus scanning, file conversion, digital signatures, watermark embedding, and other types of business application processing (before and after transmission)

- Integrates with corporate applications using a Web Services (API)
