The latest version of SAP Sybase Replication Server is planned to replicate data in real time from multiple sources into multiple instances of SAP HANA® — without disrupting or slowing the production applications at the source — while transactional consistency is preserved. It also aims to provide real-time log-based changed data capture (CDC) for SAP® Data Services software, allowing customers to gain business insights in real time.

"Meeting the demands of the real-time enterprise requires a sophisticated data management strategy," said Shawn Rogers, vice president of Research at Enterprise Management Associates. "SAP Sybase Replication Server plays a critical role in the challenge to execute real-time workloads across diverse data landscapes. SAP has highly integrated the solution into its real-time data platform orchestrating data for optimal real-time effectiveness."
