GoldenGate Software Inc., a provider of high availability and real-time data integration solutions, today announced the immediate availability of GoldenGate 9.5, enhancing the platform's capabilities for all major enterprise software applications.

ebizQ received the following:

With today's release, the GoldenGate® Transactional Data Management (TDM) platform provides more comprehensive support for packaged enterprise applications including Oracle—E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel, JD Edwards—and SAP, as well as custom-developed applications. GoldenGate solutions address the need for real-time data integration and application high availability in today's increasingly heterogeneous enterprise IT environment.

"With more and more applications being processed online and by a wider range of business users, availability service level agreements have become more stringent than ever," said Sami Akbay, vice president of product management and marketing for GoldenGate. "GoldenGate solutions have long supported major applications, including leading CRM and ERP applications as well as other vertical oriented solutions such as ACI BASE24 for banking, GE Centricity, and Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager in the healthcare sector, to help businesses achieve the highest level of availability during planned and unplanned outages."

With GoldenGate 9.5, the platform supports the replication of non-data objects, which decreases the time and effort required to perform database administrative tasks, such as adding users or applying stored procedures to the target database, and the result is minimizing any downtime. For example, this platform is commonly used during a planned migration or upgrade, in which organizations will experience little or no downtime. With today's release, GoldenGate delivers greater support and flexibility for enterprise software applications, and further expands support for heterogeneous environments, including Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005, Oracle, Sybase, DB2 z/OS, DB2 LUW, HP NonStop and SQL/MX, Enscribe, Ingres and MySQL.

Leading Customers Depend on GoldenGate's Cross-Platform, Real-Time CDC Capabilities for Major Enterprise Application Migrations

With the ability to provide real-time bidirectional change-data-capture (CDC) capabilities, GoldenGate's TDM platform can be used to copy structural changes between databases without any interruption, allowing enterprise IT teams to quickly and easily upgrade their business applications with minimal downtime. Leading application partners – including Oracle – and customers capitalize on GoldenGate's unique capabilities for minimal downtime operations.

According to Shelly Bowman, senior operations manager at Oracle Corporation, "Our project involved migrating Siebel On Demand users from a non-Oracle database environment to Oracle 10g. Our Oracle CRM On Demand Product and Hosting Operations teams worked closely with the GoldenGate team to enable a major application migration for these users, with no issues pertaining to downtime or process interruption."
