Getting Started

Data Source Solutions DSS is a software product for enterprise-level replication of database and file management systems. With its reliable and secure technology, DSS can achieve a combination of light footprint, low latency, and high throughput that cannot be found anywhere else. DSS supports a distributed architecture for database and file replication in between a large number of Database Management Systems (DBMSs). It is a comprehensive software system with various modules for running data replication. This includes:

• Refresh mechanism for initial loading of data from source to target;
• Capture process that continuously acquires all the changes in the source location;
• Integrate process that applies the changes to the target location;
• Compare feature that compares the source and target locations to ensure that the data is in sync.
