If your organization is implementing a networked computing environment, with users located at many different sites, you need a fast, fail-safe method of synchronizing files between your systems:

• Do you want to automate file replication between heterogeneous systems?
• Do you need to co-ordinate data collection with end of day batch processes across your network?
• Would you like to implement a simple method of distributing files from a centralized server to a network?

RDS^TM can be configured to distribute a single set of files from one central server to a number of networked machines.

A feature rich Application Program Interface enables the integration of RDS^TM with other systems.

Complete system automation
RDS^TM will collect the data required as input for batch processing and pass it on to UniQBatch for scheduling to take place.

Automate the process
Reduce complex activities to a series of automated actions without any operator intervention.

Schedule your processes to suit your particular business requirements - RDS^TM can schedule all file transfers or collections at regular intervals, e.g. weekly, daily, etc.

Collect distributed data that is required for overnight batch processing automatically.

No more failed operations
Guarantee the completion of data replication across your network with RDS^TM's retry and escalation facilities.

Allow RDS^TM to deal with transfer errors automatically as they occur. You no longer have to reset failed transfers manually.

Restart interrupted jobs automatically without any manual intervention.

Take control of file transfers
Ensure that your business-critical data is distributed in a secure manner.

Monitor data distribution using RDS^TM's comprehensive audit trail. RDS^TM logs details of every file transfer that is executed. This tracks which files have and have not been transmitted across the network.

Establish effective control for all file transfers using RDS^TM.

Install RDS^TM today and realize the benefits:

• Increase productivity through the timely distribution of corporate data.
• Simplify data distribution and management.
• Increase system throughput with automated file collection and distribution.
• Reduce exposure to fraud with RDS' secure and audited file transfer environment.
• Reduce costs by automating your file transfer process.
• Increase efficiency with the elimination of operator errors.
• Increase accountability with RDS' accurate logs and transfer statistics.
• Increase system availability with automatic error recovery.

Real Life scenarios:

• The corporate headquarters for a multinational firm with a central UNIX machine needed to collect sales statistics from all of its regional offices. RDS^TM was able to offer regular and controlled collection of files from the remote machines, which were both UNIX and non-UNIX, for central processing.
• A leading mobile phone company wanted a reliable method for transferring files between its heterogeneous network of machines. The files contained business-critical records of all phone calls made. These had to be collected for billing purposes. RDS^TM was able to meet these requirements in a secure and reliable manner.
• A large retail organisation had to find a way of distributing new price lists to each of its individual retail outlets. Once RDS^TM was installed, the data could be transmitted at regular scheduled times to every store.
• A large data processing centre needed an efficient method of distributing software between its network of computers. With the help of RDS^TM, new versions of software were automatically distributed to all machines for installation.
