The Need for a Comprehensive Data Asset Strategy
Beyond Disaster Recovery (DR)
Data is the most valuable asset for organizations,
necessitating:
 Access to all data, wherever and however it’s stored
 Current, consistent data across the organization
 Real-time data available everywhere
But most IT systems can’t meet these needs due to:
 Organizational changes resulting in multiple, heterogeneous
data sources
 Lack of integration leaving data isolated in incompatible
formats
 Poor replication resulting in unsynchronized and often
unavailable data

SAP Vision: Replication & Integration as
Part of the Real-time Data Platform
A comprehensive data management strategy encompasses both
replication and integration to meet critical business requirements,
such as the need for:
 Real-time, 360-degree views of the business across heterogeneous data sources
 Support for multi-site operations with a common data infrastructure and localized
applications
 End-to-end support for business processes across heterogeneous platforms and
applications

Traditional vs. Strategic Approaches
to Replication & Integration
Traditional: Point solutions and proprietary tools




Basic ETL, triggers, and updates
No accommodation for other source and target databases
Data stuck in siloes
Very difficult to manage, with a tangle of sources and targets
Strategic: SAP Sybase Replication Server
 Real-time and asynchronous replication and integration
 High-performance integration with multiple heterogeneous data sources
 Centralized, graphical, and intuitive model-driven management

Centralized Replication & Integration
Easy to Manage, Model, and Extend
Organizations administer all replication and integration activity through
one centralized capability
 All replication and integration go through SAP Sybase Replication Server
 SAP Sybase Replication Server directly replicates data between SAP Sybase ASE
databases
 Replication agent delivers data from primary Microsoft SQL Server, DB2, and Oracle
databases to SAP Sybase Replication Server
