Data replication advances a number of enterprise goals, supporting scenarios such as distribution of information as part of business intelligence and reporting initiatives, facilitating high availability and disaster recovery, and as part of a no-downtime migration initiative.
Speed to insights, low impact on performance, interoperability with an array of sources and targets, fault tolerance, and the availability of change data capture capabilities to minimize overhead on source systems are among the sought-after attributes that many replication solutions boast.
Robust data replication capabilities deliver high volumes of (big) data with very low latency, making data replication ideal for multi-site workload distribution and continuous availability.
