Syntergy, a leading provider of products that extend Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies, today announced a new product called Syntergy Connect at the Microsoft Tech•Ed EMEA 2008 IT Professionals Conference. Connect is a desktop application that supports and enhances the effectiveness of Syntergy’s flagship product, Replicator.

Replicator delivers bi-directional, asynchronous replication from one SharePoint server to another SharePoint server. As global organizations with multiple SharePoint servers continue to deploy SharePoint distributed throughout the world, the relationships that Replicator creates between servers and the complexity of these environments need a big picture view. Connect makes it possible to see a mapping of the replicated environments in a straightforward, simple graphical representation. This graphical representation is also dynamic and can be drilled into further to reveal more and more levels of detail about each server and its replicated content. Existing customers of Syntergy’s Replicator and future clients will use Connect to:

• Monitor and track replication activity and alerts
• Visualize the status of both server farms and their connections
• Display and configure a layout map of all of the farms in a Replicator environment
• Manage and manipulate replication servers directly by launching the administrative screens through Connect
• Run various reports on detailed environmental information

“We are very excited to release this new product. Every time we develop a new product, it is with one goal in mind: to help our customers by making their work easier,” said David Seaman, VP SharePoint Technologies, Syntergy. “Connect allows users to display and configure a layout map of all of the farms in a Replicator environment. By presenting replication data in a simple and straightforward manner, even the most complex networks we support will be much easier to understand.”

Connect runs on Windows Desktops (Vista/XP) and Servers (Windows 2003 and Windows 2008) to help information workers monitor and manage their wide area SharePoint environment.
