Sybase, a provider of enterprise and mobile software, has introduced new features for the new version of its database replication product that supports change data capture, data distribution and synchronisation of data across heterogeneous database environments.

The company said that its new Replication Server includes real time loading for Sybase IQ, which empowers organisations to deliver real-time analytics from ASE to Sybase IQ and through continuous change data capture (CDC) technology.

In addition, the new release comes with advanced performance services, which provide high-volume transaction replication using HVAR technology for reducing transaction latency.

Sybase said that the new offering also includes heterogeneous capabilities, which improve performance in heterogeneous database environments operating Sybase ASE, Oracle, IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server database servers, with parallel Data Server Interface (DSI).

Replication Server’s in-memory database replication enables ASE on-disk databases to be replicated to ASE in-memory databases. Enterprises can now maintain warm standby applications for Oracle databases.

Brian Vink, vice president of data management products at Sybase, said: "In today’s volatile and competitive business climate, enterprises must create agile businesses by tapping into real-time analytics and decision support to quickly predict outcomes and identify risks.

"Replication Server 15.5 gives organisations a data movement platform that will scale with them as they move to the next level of real-time operations and business analytics."
