The article explores the client benefits of using local replication in Domino R5 and Notes/Domino 6 (ND6). There are many reasons to replicate the mail file and other Notes databases to one's workstation. First, there is the advantage of response time. One can also have the advantages of working offline. Another great advantage of replication of one's mail file to one's workstation is that any response time problems in accessing mail file are solved. Many companies disallow or discourage having a replica of the Notes mail file or other Notes databases on a laptop because of security concerns. However, one can resolve the security issues by encrypting mail and other databases on laptops. International Business Machines Corp. ran some tests to determine the impact of local replication on network traffic. The results for each user and each test were similar in that network traffic was reduced when using local mode as compared server mode. The ND6 replication architecture is much more efficient that in previous versions of Notes. Several enhancements to the replication process result in greater efficiency, namely, multitasking and memory use, streaming replication, dynamic builds of folders and views, documents replicated in ascending size, among others.
