Progress Fathom Replication
Installation Guide

> ## Overview of Fathom Replication

> Data replication has two major real-time functions: to distribute copies of information to one or more sites and to provide failure recovery to keep data constantly available to customers. Fathom Replication automatically replicates a local Progress® database to remote Progress databases running on one or more machines. Once Fathom Replication is installed, configured, and started, replication happens automatically.

> Fathom Replication offers users the ability to keep Progress databases identical while also providing a hot standby in case a database fails. When a database fails, another becomes active. Therefore, mission-critical data is always available to your users.
