GoldenGate Announces Version 7 For Global Data Synchronization

Activity Console and New Features Enhance Speed, Volume and Diversity

Sausalito, Calif. - March 24, 2003 - GoldenGate, a leader in Global Data Synchronization, today announced the newest version of its flagship software platform that enables hundreds of companies in over 20 countries around the world to power vital business initiatives such as business continuity, disaster recovery, data center consolidation and integration, system migration, application integration and active data warehousing. "Corporate master data is a critical asset that must be increasingly synchronized within and beyond the enterprise — primarily to solve business problems, not to reengineer existing processes," commented Aaron Zornes, senior vice president with META Group. "Few vendors have advanced the technology to offer immediate integration solutions. A key requirement for master data synchronization in the large enterprise is support for high availability and extreme scalability via support for advanced database features."

GoldenGate Version 7 puts new capabilities within reach of businesses that must efficiently capture, transform and securely deliver data both internally and outside the enterprise to suppliers, customers and partners. Major new functionality continues to deliver on GoldenGate's commitment to the fundamental attributes of Speed (sub-second), Volume (terabytes of data) and Diversity (any data environment). For example, Version 7 offers:

• Sophisticated conflict detection and resolution


• Enhanced high-speed data loading capabilities


• Powerful security protection through 128-bit encryption of data during transmission between systems and outside the enterprise


• Support for MySQL, a popular open source database


• Native, log-based data capture for Sybase databases

Version 7 also offers a new Web-based Activity Console, which provides users with a graphical real-time view of all data synchronization functions. Customers seeking to optimize business processes can now have an accurate real-time picture of data movement latency, volume levels and system balancing requirements across all their diverse platforms. With powerful monitoring, diagnosis and alert notification capabilities, the Activity Console significantly reduces the time, effort and skills needed to manage data over complex heterogeneous environments.

"Version 7's new features are targeted to exceed our customers' business requirements," commented Eric Fish, CTO of GoldenGate. "The new features reflect the increasing demand of today's data synchronization market, where organizations and their partners must have better visibility into the design, connectivity and performance of their data synchronization processes. Our customers continue to increase the number of integrated, high volume connections across their real-time computing environment. As GoldenGate continues our worldwide expansion, we're delighted to be able to offer Version 7 with its new capabilities."
