Consolidated database
The centralized master database

Remote database

Replication
Replication is the sharing of data among physically distinct databases. When an application modifies shared data at any one database, the changes are propagated to the other databases in the replication setup. Changes can be propagated by various means and through a variety of channels, preserving data integrity yet allowing flexible replication setups.

Synchronization
Synchronization describes the means by which mobile and embedded applications synchronize their locally held data (usually a subset) with a central database. This functionality is essential to making the application function effectively within the information infrastructure of an organization.
