- Because SymmetricDS uses web technologies for its transport it can synchronize data across the Internet.  The software was designed to scale to large numbers of clients, work across low bandwith connections and withstand days of outage time.  The web-based architecture is well understood and it is easy to find technical resources to help tune it.

  Any database that supports trigger technology and has had a �database dialect� written for SymmetricDS can be a �node� in the network.

  SymmetricDS is available under the LGPL open source software {{{license.html}license}} and is actively being developed and supported. 
 
+Why SymmetricDS?
 
+ SymmetricDS was built because the development team did not find a suitable open source solution that met the core requirements for keeping store databases durably synchronized in 'real-time' with a general office database.
 
+History
+
+ SymmetricDS was started as an open source project to document the experiences and solve the issues the development team encountered when integrating a store MySQL database with a corporate Oracle database for a major retailer.  The software gained momentum and is now being used by that same retailer.
