DataXtend RE
Progress® Dataxtend® RE enables enterprises to distribute data from existing enterprise databases to remote offices and mobile workers, providing corporate-level quality of service all the way to the "edge" of the enterprise where connectivity may be intermittent or unavailable. DataXtend RE's data synchronization services will help your organization continue to grow and decentralize without sacrificing the high quality of service your mobile and remote users need.
Progress® DataXtend® RE provides essential capabilities for managing distributed databases, whether your enterprise needs simple data replication or a complete synchronization solution. With DataXtend RE, users don’t have to be connected to a network to access data. Remote offices with limited or variable bandwidth and mobile users with limited periods of connectivity can both obtain the same quality of service levels, optimized performance, and lower management costs as those in the corporate office.
DataXtend RE enables companies to manage data across multiple sites, geographies, platforms, or database management systems, through its unique patented technology for two-way, read-write replication of databases. The DataXtend RE distributed enterprise is managed centrally but all distributed databases are synchronized transparently with the central servers. This makes deploying and supporting distributed applications as cost effective as web-based applications but without the network limitations associated with accessing a centralized server and database.
DataXtend RE delivers a variety of synchronization benefits that allow the enterprise to:
- Deliver bi-directional replication with support for site-specific data sets.
- Minimize network traffic by giving remote sites only the data they need, using Dynamic Data Slicing Architecture (DDSA).
- Manage network balancing automatically with Dynamic Bandwidth-managed Partner Selection.
- Eliminate the need for manual management of log files with a transparent recovery model.
- Tailor policies that accommodate the unique requirements of your applications with Collision Avoidance Methodology.
- Deploy the same application on database management systems from multiple vendors with heterogeneous database support.
Embedded tools make it easier for enterprise architects to ensure that corporate applications are delivering business-critical data where and when they need it.
- Administration Console - The easy-to-use Administration Console allows you to administer a network of distributed applications and databases (including Oracle, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Progress, ObjectStore, Sybase, and others).
- Software Development Kit - The robust Software Development Kit allows you to embed and integrate leading database capabilities with any new or existing software application. You can use the data integration tools and templates to refine and speed your mobile and distributed application development with your choice of programming languages and development environments.
