Companies spend millions of dollars managing critical information.  Cost and complexity soar as the enterprise information load increases.  What's more, much of this corporate information is hard-wired into information silos where it gets trapped, making it difficult to access and to leverage within dynamic business processes.  Sybase's Information Management products help manage information complexity, increase information liquidity, and break down those internal barriers to ensure that information is consistently useful, relevant, and ready to deliver economic value.

Available Information Management Services:

Database Servers

Sybase IQ

Sybase IQ is a highly scalable relational database architected for analytics - not transactions - with a column-based structure, patented indexing, easier to maintain than traditional databases, supports hundreds even thousands of users and terabytes of data, delivers 100 times faster query performance and compresses data storage form 30 to 60 percent.
IQ allows data warehousing teams to more rapidly implement the data warehouse, buy allowing warehouse-style queries against schemas originally optimized for OLTP.  This feature alone can save companies thousands of dollars in data warehouse implementations and ETL activity.

Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise

Sybase ASE provides reliable data management and transaction processing, and is easy to deploy and maintain.  Sybase ASE includes built-in self management tools with wizards to automate routine tasks and Job Scheduler.  ASE provides performance enhancing features such as index sampling, smart SQL statement cache, parallel recovery, backup compression, scalable logging, and advance database reorganization.  Sybase ASE is highly reliable data management platforms that support the demanding needs of mission critical enterprises.

SQL Anywhere Studio

SQL Anywhere Studio is an industry-leading data management tool which enables the rapid development and deployment of database-powered mobile applications. SQL Anywhere Studio features a powerful database known as Adaptive Server Anywhere with advanced synchronization for both occasionally-connected and near real-time environments. It is easy to use and administer, providing out of the box performance. And it runs on Pocket PC and Palm powered devices too.

Sybase Dynamic Archive

Sybase Dynamic Archive is an innovative, new approach to managing data growth.  It allows organizations to intelligently and automatically manage business transactional data through its lifecycle - by offloading inactive data from the production system, while keeping archived data fully accessible online.

Sybase Real-Time Data Service

Sybase Real-Time Data Services is the first solution to proactively push time-critical data from heterogeneous enterprise databases to messaging architectures, eliminating the "information lags" created by batch updates or intermittent polling processes.  Sybase Real-Time Data Services combines heterogeneous data movement with real-time messaging in one easily integrated, open standards-based solution, eliminating the need for custom coding and lowering total cost of ownership.

Synchronization, Movement & Access

Sybase Replication Server

Replication Server simplifies data movement and synchronization across the enterprise.  It allows DBA's to quickly setup redundant disaster recovery sites and synchronize data across heterogeneous database platforms -- Sybase ASE, Oracle, IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server.

Sybase Mirror Activator

Sybase Mirror Activator works in conjunction with disk block replication synchronizing systems by replicating only the log of data that has changed.  The standby system can be used for operational activities such as decision support and reporting, enhancing the return on investment for these complex, costly--yet essential--disaster recovery systems.

Middleware Integration

Replication Connectors

Sybase RepConnector enables real-time event and information delivery among enterprise applications without having to change existing application code.  This off-the-shelf product captures business events, transforms them to formats used by other applications, and delivers them to TIBCO®, IBM® WebSphereTM MQ (MQSeriesTM), Sybase EAServerTM or any JMS compliant messaging infrastructure across the enterprise.  These end-messages can be easily shared with other applications using Sybase Process Server and Integration Servers.

Sybase Replication Agents

Replication Agent and Replication Server provide a flexible approach for getting information from various database management systems and into the database of your choice and the location of your choice.  Replication technology enables organizations to replicate information in Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Informix, and DB2 UDB (OS/390, NT and UNIX) data sources in near real time in order to place that information where it can be most effectively used.  The replication process is completely transparent and asynchronous to the applications that are changing the source data.

Data Modeling

PowerDesigner

Power Designer is a robust modeling tool providing application modeling through UML, Business Process Modeling, simulation, impact analysis, XML and Web Services techniques. It supports Conceptual, Logical and Physical Data models, including Warehouse Modeling.  If your company is considering moving to PowerDesigner from ERWin or other relational data modeling tools, then our PowerDesigner workshops may be for you.

Information Delivery

Sybase Enterprise Portal

Sybase Enterprise Portal (EP) is an open and scalable portal framework that provides an intuitive, secure and personalizable environment for end-users; rapid development and deployment tools for developers; and an easy-to-use console for administrators.  Point and click wizards and graphic deployment tools allow business users to manage entire portal projects and reduce the strain on IT resources.  Companies can maintain incumbent platforms and reduce expenses when developing portal solutions because Sybase EP is compatible with leading J2EE application servers and databases.  A portal solution can be up and running within days instead of months.
