What Fivetran HVR is
Fivetran HVR is a self-hosted replication product for enterprise databases and file systems. It reads source transaction logs in real time, compresses the data, and can encrypt it before sending it to a hub that routes it to target locations. Channels organize replication alongside comparison, scheduling, error handling, and performance tuning. Teams can configure and monitor replication through a web interface, command line interface, or REST API. The Hub Server runs on Linux or Windows, including physical, virtual, and containerized machines; HVR Agents support Linux, Solaris, AIX, and Windows. Supported databases include Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL, Azure SQL products, Db2 variants, Ingres, MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SAP HANA, SQL Server, Sybase ASE, and YugabyteDB. Capabilities vary by location and release. HVR supports change data capture, multi-way replication, and data transformations. Pricing is on request, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.
