SAP has announced the availability of the SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16 suite within the SAP Real-Time Data Platform.
The latest release of data management and synchronisation technology from SAP will provide remote office locations access to data-driven applications.
The suite enables the rapid development and deployment of database-powered applications in embedded, software-as-a-service (SaaS), remote and mobile environments, SAP said in a statement.
“SAP continues to advance its real-time database capabilities by integrating key Sybase database technologies such as SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere into its comprehensive enterprise information platform,” said Carl Olofson, research vice president for application development and deployment, IDC.
“The new version of SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere includes key improvements such as expanded query optimisation for faster response times, which makes access of enterprise data on a mobile platform more practical, and security enhancements for protection of critical business data, which helps put business managers at ease regarding the distribution of sensitive data to mobile devices.”
These technologies work in combination with solutions such as SAP HANA, Olofson added, “decreasing administrative complexity, allowing SAP to enable practical, easy to use enterprise data delivery to users anywhere, any time”.
Through integration with SAP HANA, SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16 allows users and applications in distributed environments to have real-time interactions with virtually any source, and then further explore and analyse that data through SAP HANA, according to Irfan Khan, chief technology officer and senior vice president, Database and Technology, SAP AG.
“As a result of joint innovation and expertise across our worldwide engineering team, SAP HANA and SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere offer rich applications and consumer interactions from the data centre to mobile and satellite server locations,” he said.
