Share content between Umbraco instances

Good morning

I am evaluating Umbraco for a project and it looks like it will meet all of my standard needs. However, I do have an idea that it would be useful if some of the experts on here could tell me if it was remotely possible.

Basically, we have a requirement for a number of sites to be running on separate instances of Umbraco but with the ability to access, edit and display some shared content.

I thought of a couple of ways this could potentially be accomplished:

  • Dedicated SQL database for shared content with custom tree added to each site to display/edit/add relevant content
  • Additional Umbraco installation with a filtered content tree for this site added to the other sites

The first is probably easier to accomplish, however the second if possible would allow the additional shared content to be able centrally managed and aggregated.

I would really appreciate anyone’s thoughts on this and if you think either is possible?

Thanks in advance

Danny
