Fivetran HVR
What Fivetran HVR is
Fivetran HVR replicates data between databases and file systems, covering initial loads, ongoing change capture, integration, and source-to-target comparison. It can capture database changes from logs and supports multi-way replication, transformations, standard replication, soft deletes, and TimeKey records that preserve change history. A hub with remote agents is designed to run parallel work and manage multiple data flows from one console. Users can operate it through a browser interface, command line, or REST APIs. Channels connect databases, files, directories, and data warehouses; SAP NetWeaver is not supported as a target. HVR is self-hosted, with Linux and Windows platforms listed. Agent communications use TLS 1.3, and an optional hub wallet can encrypt classified data with AES256. HVR has built-in authentication and access controls, with LDAP or Kerberos integration. Pricing is on request, and a 14-day trial is offered, but there is no free plan and a valid license is required for replication. Usage is measured in monthly active rows across source and target locations, with each destination counted when one source syncs to multiple destinations.
