Milwaukee, WI – September 24, 2004 – SymSoft Corporation, a Symmetry Company, announced today it has executed a Reseller Agreement with aivant L.P. The Agreement authorizes SymSoft to market and sell aivant's DBShadow® software products.
"The DBShadow® suite of software tools provides straightforward solutions for SAP high availability (HA) and disaster recovery," said John Fredrichsdorf, Director of Customer Relationship Management for Symmetry and SymSoft Corporations. "All you need is a compatible mirror server and the DBShadow® software."
70% of all system failures are caused by logical errors; bad transports, untested Hot Packages, faulty data loads. Hardware solutions like clustering and RAID provide no protection against these most common errors. A key to DBShadow® is "Time-Delayed Mirroring", allowing rapid recovery on a mirror server, to within minutes BEFORE an error. Gone are the hours of effort and data lost in attempting manual recovery methods.
"DBShadow® has been sold in Europe for years with over 400 successful installations. Over 70% are with SAP customers. While new to the US, it is a mature product with a clear value proposition," said Bernd Baier, CEO & President of aivant L.P. "We are thrilled to be working with SymSoft and Symmetry. These guys are experts in SAP Basis administration and really understand SAP high availability / disaster recovery. With this relationship, we can connect our proven technology with new customers in the US."
"Most high availability solutions are expensive and complicated," said Dan Wilhelms, President of Symmetry and SymSoft Corporations. "Too often, they cause more downtime than they prevent. For all those SAP customers, who thought they were getting high availability when they bought clustering technology, there is now a real, affordable solution."
A sister company to Symmetry Corporation, "The Basis Experts", SymSoft focuses on marketing high-value software tools and utilities to the SAP marketplace. SymSoft also represents 6 other software products: Its own Q-TMSSM, transport audit tool; Project Gold Client®, selective client copy tools from Hayes Technology Group; Compliance CalibratorTM for R/3 security segregation of duties compliance and mitigation from Virsa Systems; RapidPro SuiteTM, automated ABAP/4 performance tuning tools; Exception ManagerTM, from Y.O.E.X., a sales and distribution utility expediting sales order exception processing; and DBShadow® database mirroring software for High Availability and Disaster Recovery.
