About This Manual
This book, Perforce Server Administrator's Guide: Multi-Site Deployment (previously titled Distributing Perforce), is a guide intended for administrators responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining multiple interconnected or replicated Perforce services. Administrators of sites that require only one instance of the Perforce service will likely find the Perforce Server Administrator's Guide: Fundamentals sufficient.
This guide assumes familiarity with the material in the Perforce Server Administrator's Guide: Fundamentals.
