SAP SQL Anywhere solutions provide data management, synchronization, and data exchange technologies that enable developers to rapidly design, build, and deploy database-powered applications for mobile and remote environments where there is limited or no IT support. Database management software keeps data synchronized with thousands of mobile devices or remote offices, so that all business users can access vital data – anytime, anywhere.

With the latest release of SAP SQL Anywhere, companies can securely capture, access, and feed data, including IoT data, back into the SAP HANA platform from remote workplaces with low bandwidth or intermittent connections, such as retail stores, restaurants, and satellite offices within large enterprises. 

Companies can benefit from:

• Optimized performance on a wide variety of IoT platforms plus monitoring and diagnostic capabilities designed to support new IoT application scenarios
• Smart, secure synchronization for cloud and on-premise systems with improved data protection encryption and data isolation
• Always-on, always-available operations with significantly reduced downtime resulting from database maintenance and application upgrades
