With a need for 100 percent system uptime and real-time data access, NTI searched for a comprehensive, standard-based solution that would support multiple database environments and versions out-of-the-box (without additional code or integration requirements). According to Progress, "Network Technologies International (NTI) has embedded the Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC database drivers in its pioneering DRNet data replication engine. This enables DRNet to provide high-performance Type 4 JDBC drivers for all major databases, including Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Informix and MySQL."

NTI's Technical Director Alphonse Hoges stated, "'With Progress DataDirect products in place, we have seamless connectivity between heterogeneous clients and heterogeneous data sources and don’t have to devote tireless man hours keeping up-to-date with changes to database releases or versions. The Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC driver gives us the interoperability and performance needed to maximize application availability and deliver superior system backup and recovery solutions'" in Progress' press release.

Major banking institutions and emergency call-centers for disaster recovery protection, system backup and the guaranteed, continuous availability of mission-critical applications use DRNet. "Designed to maximize application availability with disaster avoidance solutions developed exclusively for HP non-stop server applications, DRNet creates immediately available, multiple database environments and supports all database types, with or without Transaction Management Facility (TMF) protection," stated Progress.
