Fuji: SQL Anywhere in the Cloud for Independent Software Vendors

Discover Sybase's new cloud data platform, code-named "Fuji", designed specifically for the needs of the ISV market. Many of the recent cloud data platforms have been focused on end-users and providing "infinite" scalability of a single database. "Fuji" is different. "Fuji" is focused on the ISV and providing scalability for the number of databases in the system. Come learn about how "Fuji" will allow a small team to host tens-of-thousands of separate, isolated databases in a secure, flexible, and manageable multi-tenant environment.

SQL Remote replication technology provides the foundation for successful message-based replication, however, remote platforms such as ships at sea, oil drilling platforms or other very remote facilities which rely on more expensive satellite based communications provide special challenges. Meeting the challenges of satellite, message-based replication provides details on the challenges faced over my ten years of experience with the US Military Sealift Command including day-to-day replication, application upgrades requiring database updates via SQL Remote "passthrough" statements, and database version upgrades.

DATSQL15 How a Legacy N-Tier System Became Fault Tolerant with SQL Anywhere High Availability
Product Focus: SQL Anywhere
Level of Experience: Intermediate
High Availability for SQL Anywhere provides a simple and powerful solution to recover from a database server failure, making it ideal for creating fault tolerant client/server applications. But what if the requirement is to provide high availability for an existing multi-tier application, in which the logic tier can also fail? This session will cover how High Availability for SQL Anywhere was combined with custom code to allow a standalone legacy system to work in a primary/backup configuration. High Availability was used to seamlessly mirror the data between the primary and backup servers, and a software agent was developed to monitor the status of the multiple tiers of the system and do an automatic switchover to a backup server if case of failure of any of the components.
