Dell release SharePlex database solution

The new release of Dell SharePlex empowers organizations to spend less time worrying about how to migrate data onto these modern platforms, and more time fueling innovation by driving reporting and analytics initiatives forward, Dell said in a press statement.

The latest Dell SharePlex release can help organisations reduce the risk of migrations to SAP HANA, Teradata, or EnterpriseDB Postgres Advanced Server with a proven solution that replicates data in near real-time with no impact to the production database – and does so at half the cost of other leading database replication solutions.

With the addition of support for SAP HANA, Teradata, and EnterpriseDB Postgres, SharePlex now supports a host of target environments, including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP ASE, Java Message Service (JMS), SQL and XML Files.

Growing pressure to lower operational costs, introduce new applications and better manage sophisticated analytics requirements without sacrificing functionality has led organizations to seek out efficient, cost-effective database alternatives spanning on-premises, cloud and open source technology. With a wide range of innovative new database platforms to choose from, organizations are moving away from single-platform consolidation and deploying a variety of database types to lower costs and better align with business and analytics objectives. The expanded platform support from Dell SharePlex gives organizations the agility and flexibility needed grow, diversify and modernize their database infrastructure to better leverage improved performance from in-memory databases and better manage evolving analytic requirements, the statement said.

Regardless of the target, transforming database infrastructure is a major undertaking for companies of all sizes. Whether implementing new production databases on-premises or in the cloud, or offloading data for reporting and analytics use cases, SharePlex enables organizations to migrate and upgrade their environments while ensuring high availability of mission-critical applications. With the latest release of Dell SharePlex, organizations migrating to SAP HANA, Teradata, or EnterpriseDB Postgres can achieve dramatically reduced downtime, deploy unlimited practice runs with no impact to the production environment, and put control of scheduling back in Mary Woo, managing director, South Asia and Korea, Dell Software, said Dell continued to evolve SharePlex to help customers grow and sustain an increasingly diverse database environment. 

“Whether structured or unstructured, proprietary or open source, on-premises or in the cloud, Dell is committed to supporting all data across all platforms. This deliberately agnostic approach enables us to meet customers where they are and help them get where they want to go next by providing the right solution at the right time,” she said.

The new release of Dell SharePlex will be generally available on May 24, 2016 while Dell SIM solutions, including Dell SharePlex, are available both direct and through channel partners
