Sybase intros Replication Server

DUBLIN, USA: Sybase, Inc., an industry leader in delivering enterprise and mobile software, today announced the latest version of Sybase Replication Server, specifically designed to move and synchronize data across the enterprise.

Replication Server 15 enables pervasive data accessibility and real-time data delivery across heterogeneous database environments. Through the use of Replication Server’s high-performance data movement capabilities, customers achieve cost savings by avoiding expensive platform migration while achieving the benefits of simplified management.

By leveraging Replication Server’s ability to deliver operational data across complex and broadly distributed data infrastructures in real-time, organizations can also ensure proper steps are taken to comply with relevant regulations within their industries, even when external circumstances threaten ongoing operations and prompt recovery if disaster should strike.

Capital Market institutions decrease risk and lower cost by using Replication Server in their risk management solution allowing for the instantaneous capture of trades and delivering trade data to the risk management system. Replication Server’s high level of performance enables Capital Markets customers to make faster and better risk management decisions using real-time trade data.

"Data movement and the creation of additional data stores for analytics continue to grow in importance and move down-market," said Merv Adrian, Founder and Principal Analyst of IT Market Strategy. "Sybase Replication Server, with over 2500 customers, has long been one of the industry’s most mature and robust products in its space."

Replication Server is designed to operate with multiple database platforms, including Sybase’s industry-leading Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE), as well as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2 and UDB.

With expanded heterogeneous database replication capabilities and greatly enhanced performance, Replication Server significantly reduces data delivery latency.

The latest release of Replication Server includes the following capabilities:

* Extreme performance improvements for data distribution and synchronization, real-time reporting and for supporting disaster recovery sites
* Expanded heterogeneous database replication capabilities for supporting Oracle and other databases
* Simplified configuration and management of heterogeneous environments
