Prevent Loss of Revenue, Opportunity, and Productivity
What Is Your Plan?
Most backup or data retrieval systems don’t provide the protection today’s
enterprises need:




Triggers or repeating ETL queries can slow down the source database
With a script(s), there is risk of latency in terms of retrieval and loss of data
Reloading backups after an outage can be very time consuming
Extended timeframe to get database back online can result in lost productivity
Most hardware systems aren't consistent in replicating disk blocks:
 Using specific hardware can cause inconsistencies and results to broken records within
the database

 When the system that was unavailable returns to service, SAP Sybase Replication
Server automatically resynchronizes that system

Decentralized Replication
Use Case: Replication at All Locations
 Shares transactions with all
sites in the business
 Each site has its own data
server which is continuously
linked to the other sites
 Any user is capable of
making a business decision
without having to consult
headquarters
 Ensures consistency and
