AST appointed sole distributor of SyncSort products

Johannesburg, 02 Mar 1999

Advanced Software Technologies (AST), leaders in sales and support of enterprise-wide systems management products, end-to-end IT solutions, output and print management and IT education, has been appointed sole distributor in Southern Africa for SyncSort, leading US developers of high performance mainframe and client/server software.

"The SyncSort product range that AST will be distributing is widely used to speed data warehouse staging and database loads," says Martyn Healy, MD of AST Enterprise Systems Management, a division of the AST Group. "SyncSort is committed to developing products and software that users need to protect their data and build and improve the performance of their data warehouse applications."

SyncSort for Windows NT and UNIX brings enterprise performance levels to Windows NT and UNIX environments. It provides sort capabilities previously unavailable in these environments, combined with the record processing features needed for building large-scale data warehouses. Large databases load faster, data warehousing operations are streamlined, and application-processing time is reduced with SyncSort.

"SyncSort 2.0 leverages the advantages of the client/server architecture of Windows NT," comments Martyn Healy. "The graphical user interface significantly speeds up development and maintenance of sort-related applications. By extending SyncSort`s parallel processing technology to the Windows NT and UNIX servers, multi-gigabyte sorts can be executed in minutes."
