Besides DataDirect Progress also offers another solution to distribute your OpenEdge data.

Here are some of the key features and benefits in Pro2:
DataDirect enables connectivity to any existing data source, on premise or in the cloud. Pro2 is a solution for proactive replication that replicates data from an OpenEdge database to another OpenEdge, Microsoft SQL or Oracle database.
