Data Transfer

Hello All,
We have to get the data from a Ship to a Data centre which is located in a city. And the Ship has broad band connection via
Satellite . So for capturing data from the ship we suggested to create a WCF services which will be deployed in Ship. And the Application
Running on the Data center will call the service and get the data and upload it to the data centre . The same type of Application
will be deployed in the data center to upload the data to the ship.

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks in Advance
Dana

It seems a bit odd to have a client and a server at both ends. I guess that's the way to do it if you want to pull in both directions but I would have thought that the more natural way would be to have one server at the data centre and one client on the ship, with the client pulling data down and pushing data up.

Thanks Jhon. We suggested this one . They need a Primary Server which has to be located in Ship which has the web application and the user enter real data using this application. Some times this application requires the data from/to the data centre.

And one more update is the method of placing the application in server some times the Ship May lost the communication with the data centre and the application in the ship needs to work stand alone. When the network connection recovers the data from local application to be synchronized with Data centre
