Oracle Sync Server takes advantage of the OMA-DS (Open Mobile Alliance - Data Synchronization) protocol (formerly known as the SyncML protocol) to deliver true remote synchronization of data with a wide range of OMA-DS-enabled devices. This alternative to the Desktop-to-PDA synchronization allows you the freedom to be anywhere while having the most up-to-the-second information.
Oracle Sync Server offers direct two-way synchronization with Oracle Calendar server over any standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connection. This means that you have access to the calendar infrastructure from a variety of OMA-DS-compliant devices with Internet access. With Oracle Sync Server you are no longer tied to your desktop for synchronization.
Information related to Oracle Sync Server is maintained online, so that as new devices become available for use with Oracle Sync Server, Oracle is able to post useful information related to these devices to our customers.
