IRVINE, Calif., April 19, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Vision Solutions ("Vision") the industry leader in multi-platform high-availability solutions, today announced the release of ORION Integrator(tm) 2.1, a powerful and cost-effective data integration software designed to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses (SMB's.)

ORION Integrator's newest release leverages its innovative control-server based architecture to provide real-time, transactional data replication, transformation and filtering across multiple operating systems, database technologies and hardware platforms. Integrator's control-server based architecture allows an organization the scalability and flexibility required to meet their growing and complex data integration needs.

"With the need for real-time data access spreading across all industries and vertical markets, companies are expected to deliver accurate corporate and customer data on-demand," said Alan Arnold, President and Chief Operating Officer of Vision Solutions. "With ORION Integrator 2.1, customers can rapidly and cost effectively link heterogeneous platforms, databases and applications together in real-time and gain a holistic view of the enterprise and beyond, while keeping pace with real-time business requirements."

ORION Integrator 2.1 has been chosen for implementation by Fred Pryor Seminars & CareerTrack, an online training solution provider. "We use ORION Integrator 2.1 to keep our iSeries data in sync with our SQL Server data," said Travis Dietz at Career Track. "Vision's latest release of ORION Integrator is another tremendous step in their efforts to keep up with the speed of business. We are very pleased to have been one of the first companies to seamlessly implement this product."

Highlights of ORION Integrator 2.1 include:



 -- A revised user interface similar to the look and feel of
    Windows XP.
 -- Improved replication performance of over 250%.
 -- The addition of many wizards, including a new mapping wizard
    that can automatically build replication definitions between
    source and target databases, allowing the use of such mappings
    for transaction auditing.
 -- Table level replication control that allows users to activate
    individual mappings for replication. This is especially useful
    when performing large mass transfers.
 -- New mass transfer options that simplify management and improve
    the transaction speed for large data transfers.
 -- New database maintenance tools including a simple query tool and
    a reorganize physical files tool.
