IDION's US subsidiary Vision Solutions launches new enterprise data replication
product SYMBIATOR V3.0
IDION's US subsidiary Vision Solutions has announced a powerful new version of
its enterprise data replication product - SYMBIATOR V3.0. The cross-platform
software solution helps enterprises share critical business information across
different systems, networks and languages. SYMBIATOR V3.0 allows businesses
and business units to communicate between servers and across language barriers.
Product Information
SYMBIATOR V3.0, a completely new, re-architected middleware software solution,
has a cross-industry focus, which can be used in any environment where there is
a need to share and replicate data between disparate or non-disparate systems
or databases. SYMBIATOR enables enterprises greater business opportunities and
efficiencies by allowing them to share and replicate critical business
information between offices, networks and countries, across e-commerce and
application servers, data warehouses/datamarts and supply chains. SYMBIATOR
works across ODBC supported relational databases, including IBM DB2/400,
Microsoft SQL Server and Access, Oracle, Progress Software, Informix and
Sybase. SYMBIATOR is able to replicate data in any language supported by
Microsoft Codepage across multi-national enterprises.
Product Benefits
In order to execute wise business decisions, companies require continuous,
consistent, rapid and reliable access to information throughout their
enterprise, in any form or format necessary. SYMBIATOR V3.0 provides the
solution to facilitate this any time, any form access and the product's key
benefits include:
Improved Ease of Use. SYMBIATOR V3.0 is simple to install and easy to use.
Its Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen is intuitive, enabling easy learning
and user friendliness. The software requires a single point of management, and
users are able to transfer data to and from multiple data fields from one
screen.
National Language Support. SYMBIATOR V3.0 opens up a world of opportunity for
the increasingly global business community. It allows international
enterprises to share data across different countries and companies to share
information with international customers, by replicating data in any language.
Increase in Scalability. SYMBIATOR V3.0 increases scalability by accommodating
any number of user servers and allowing customers to purchase the software
solution without the risk of additional necessary investments as their company
expands.
Increase in Performance. SYMBIATOR V3.0 has substantially less impact on
production servers as compared to previous versions.
