Sybase Raises the Bar on Database Replication | 2009-07-31 | Sybase |
| In the past year, Forrester interviewed 27 Sybase customers who are using Sybase Replication Server to investigate their implementations. Most customers found that Sybase met or exceeded their data movement requirements by offering a reliable, high-performance, flexible solution to support their mission-critical applications. Today, thousands of enterprises rely on Sybase replication technology to support high availability, disaster recovery, data integration, reporting, data distribution, and database migration requirements for Sybase and non-Sybase databases. Furthermore, the latest version, Sybase Replication Server 15.2, delivers improved performance, ease of use, and extended support for heterogeneous databases. Application designers and information management professionals should consider Sybase's replication technology a good alternative to the replication technology native to non- Sybase databases or to other leading database-independent enterprise data movement solutions such as GoldenGate Software Transactional Data Management (TDM), IBM InfoSphere Replication, and Quest Software SharePlex.
