Geo–Replicator. About the technology. Web Virtualization.

Web virtualization is a unique technology that enables static and dynamic web content to be captured and then accessed, with full functionality, when offline.

Normally when content is taken offline it is done so using HTML. When Geo-Replicator spiders a website, it analyses the http code. This means that it identifies not only links in the main code, but also within JavaScript and Server Side Scripts. In other words, it works out what other pages are linked to within a single page and creates rules by which the pages should be treated.

These rules are formed into a Parse Template, using a unique XML template language developed by Geo-Replicator. Templates have been established for many common web-based enterprise applications, such as Microsoft SharePoint and Oracle. For other applications, however, a degree of customization may be required at the implementation stage.

Once all of the individual pages (and the rules for handling them) have been identified, an exact replica of the information is prepared for delivery to the remote user. There is no need for re-coding or re-development: with Geo-Replicator, it is the very same pages that are used offline as online.

Once this initial batch of content has been downloaded onto the user’s laptop, the user can then work with the Web pages through a standard browser. All the functionality that the user would expect online (e.g. search) is available on the laptop, whether it is connected to a network or not.
