This sounds like a database decision to be made but not a Zope problem. Oracle offers several kind of replication for database but as I mentioned before you should ask your boss to give you all his money :-) Maybe on can tinker a cheaper solution using Open-Source databases like MySQL, PostgresQL but I am not sure if they are suitable for this kind of mission-critical usage.

My boss says that we need to mirror our system between here (Mobile, AL), the UK and Germany. I do not know why, but this needs to be done.
We have about 500 people who will need access to the system in one way or another.

Be a bit more detailed and tell us your requirements. When you speak of distributed database in the sense of replication I think of Oracle and of spending much money :-)

We have a system that we need to track orders, inventory, etc. Pretty much an enterprise system.
We also would like to be able to mirror and/or set up a distributed database.
What system would you guys suggest for this task?
