Content Delivery Network (CDN). You can mirror all of your files on a site dedicated to serving files. Recite CMS includes built-in support for Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Solution).
When using web services. It would be highly inefficient to transfer files in real-time over web services, but using file mirroring it's easy to send all of the required files to the web services client location.
Whenever a file is created (uploaded), edited or deleted, each file mirror is notified of this change. For example, if you're using an Amazon S3 file mirror and you upload a file to Recite CMS, it will automatically be sent to your Amazon S3 bucket.
