Data Synchronization Technology is Critical for the Distributed Enterprise
Modern computer and communications technology has changed the way we do business because more workforces today are mobile and distributed. Remote offices, home offices, regional and branch offices are increasing - decentralization is the trend. Consequently, the importance of data synchronization has grown tremendously. Information drives nearly every aspect of business today, and enterprises that manage it well have a greater competitive edge. Superior data synchronization is necessary to ensure that information is available whenever it is needed, that business processes continue without interruption, that customer experience is satisfactory, and that operational productivity remains high. For data synchronization solutions that deliver superior benefits to the competitive enterprise, consider Progress Software.
Progress Software Provides Superior Data Synchronization Solutions
Progress® DataXtend® RE delivers the data synchronization and data replication tools that enterprises require to make applications, and data, available to a mobile and distributed workforce. DataXtend RE allows enterprises to centrally manage a distributed network while all distributed databases are synchronized transparently with central servers. The result is that enterprises can deploy and support distributed applications as cost-effectively as web-based applications, but without the network limitations normally associated with accessing a centralized server and database. With DataXtend RE, users don't need to be connected to the enterprise network in order to access applications. Mobile users with limited connectivity options or remote or home office users with limited bandwidth can still count on the same application quality of service levels as users in corporate offices. By creating data synchronization with DataXtend RE, enterprises can continue to grow and decentralize without sacrificing the high quality of service demanded by mobile and remote users.
Innovative Features for Greater Data Synchronization
DataXtend RE delivers a variety of synchronization features 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.
In addition to providing solutions for data replication, Progress Software also delivers enterprise data solutions for semantic integration, building and supporting a common data model, data caching, and data interoperability. We also deliver enterprise business solutions that will help you make the most of your data integration projects, including application performance management, business event processing, and an remote data distribution.
