UNIX, Windows NT and Mainframe Markets — A bias exists in these markets
towards database vendors, such as Microsoft Corp. (MSFT, NASDAQ), who
include some data transformation and replication functionality in their products.
However, these vendors have little incentive to transform or replicate data to
other vendors’ databases. These vendors also take a batch approach whereas
DataMirror’s Transformation Server processes the data in real time. Thus,
DataMirror’s key differentiator is its change data capture engine. |
