Dell SharePlex for EDB Postgres solution provides near-real-time replication from Oracle to the EDB Postgres platform; frees IT spend for strategic initiatives and innovation

Date -2016-03-07 Location - ​Bedford, Mass. The solution allows customers to combine existing Oracle-based solutions with an enterprise-class database management system (DBMS) based on open source. EDB Postgres, combined with Dell SharePlex, supports high-performance data replication and data migrations from Oracle, thereby lowering customer costs in use cases where reporting databases are provisioned to offload OLTP servers; to enable multi-node distribution to departmental or branch office systems; or for centralized data aggregation with near real-time data access.
