Leading Application Platform Continues Commitment to Empower Application Providers to Easily Keep Pace with Accelerating Business Demand
Today's enterprise applications are highly complex, are deployed on a variety of platforms and must meet stringent requirements for security, administration and maintenance. According to Forrester Research, "AD&D leaders need healthy systems not only as prerequisite for delivering business outcomes, but also to meet customers' expectations that you will keep their data secure and comply with relevant legislation."1
"Our customers rely on the OpenEdge platform to develop and deploy the
applications that drive their businesses. They depend on us to push the
boundaries of the OpenEdge platform with every release, to ensure we're
providing what they need to stay competitive," said
High Availability - Replication Target Syndication
Mission-critical
business applications drive business, which means uptime is of the
utmost importance. Progress OpenEdge platform reduces uninterrupted
access to systems and information with new Replication Target
Synchronization and Online Index Activation.
Replication Target Synchronization provides a three-pronged failover approach that eliminates a single point of failure and supports continuous operations. Companies can either configure the RDBMS for manual or automatic transition to meet their business needs in times of maintenance or disaster recovery. In addition, Online Index Activation enhances the flexibility of the database by easing the addition of new indexes to the schema at their convenience, with zero downtime , and without disrupting the application.
Operating at Scale - Change Data Capture
Businesses are more
reliant on data than ever, as a competitive differentiator. Therefore,
data visibility and accuracy is a top priority. Through OpenEdge Change
Data Capture (CDC), businesses can track and save only the changes to
data—regardless of where they occur. This facilitates accurate,
efficient ETL synchronization with other data sources, repositories and
warehouses, supporting the increasing demand for ease in reporting and
insightful, descriptive embedded analytics. Companies can minimize the
time, effort and cost typically associated with data extraction and
synchronization to enable them to drive business process improvement and
make better business decisions, faster.
