Abstract

A method and system are provided for replicating data in a network to a plurality of client applications which are associated to at least one server. Network traffic is reduced and an easy-to-do automated data replication is achieved basically by monitoring and storing modification information on server data exploiting XDSM capabilities in order to generate replication data for a subsequent distribution to the clients and by broadcasting said replication data from said server system to said client systems. Further, the replication data can advantageously be streamed to the clients through the network.
