Replication Engine Service PDRE can now run as a Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. (R) service, enhancing the reliability of replication networks and allowing replication to run under a user-defined schedule without the need to have a user logged on to the machine. Remote Administration Protocol A TCP/IP-based protocol has been added to allow secure remote access and control of a PeerDirect replication environment, whether via a LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. or the Internet. Fully Customizable Event Notification Event notification is a term used in conjunction with communications software for linking applications that generate small messages (the "events") to applications that monitor the associated conditions and may take actions triggered by events.
