Data Infrastructure
Progress data infrastructure capabilities provide data management, integration, replication, caching, access, and security spanning multiple data stores which can be multi-vendor and in multiple locations including disconnected and mobile data. In support of an SOA, a data infrastructure enables both database level integration as well as data services support for distributed application services.
