This Leading Alcoholic Beverage Distributor Uses Astera to Automate Data Replication for 200 Tables.
Operating in a data-intensive sector, a leading distributor of wine and spirits, recognized the importance of efficient data management for sustaining a competitive edge. Their operations relied on a diverse array of data encompassing sales, operations, finance, and more.
Before implementing Astera, the business faced challenges in replicating data from an SQL Anywhere database to a MYSQL database, essential for powering a new web application to replace legacy technology. The existing ODBC solutions were insufficient for their needs, and without a viable alternative, the company was on the brink of resorting to a labor-intensive, manual coding process to achieve database replication.
The company chose Astera for its ability to automate the data replication process. Astera developed a custom database connector for SQL Anywhere, enabling seamless data flow into the MYSQL database. This process involved replicating approximately 175GB of data across 200 tables, which they handled seamlessly with the help of the data replication tool.
The company was able to leverage Astera data integration solution to modernize its data infrastructure, facilitating the development of a new web-based platform accessible to the sales team on any device with a web browser.
“Astera is the piece that effectively maps the data (data types, indexes, key, etc) from one RDBMS to another.”
“My experience with the support team has been great. If I simply can not figure something out, I send it to them for guidance or resolution. If I discover a bug, they figure out the issue at hand and resolve it with a version/build update.”
