Replication Server , SQL Monitor and SQL Server are separate products in the
System 10 arsenal. Backup Server is part of Sybase System 10 SQL Server. But
from what I gather MS Sql Server will be upgraded to System 10 level soon. It
is in the best inerest of both parties to keep them compatible. If they can
resolve their differences in price the resulting products will benefit many
and give us some choices. There is nothing like a little competition to create
better products for us end users.
