Access Conversion & Synchronization
Microsoft Access is one of the most popular entry-level desktop database management systems available today. MS Access uses a familiar Microsoft Office UI which makes it understandable enough even to less experienced database developers.
Our DBConvert tools make it possible to scale MS Access applications when they need to be upsized to enterprise level solutions or access data needs to be published to the web. DBSync apps are able to easily replicate data between MS Access and other DBMS.
Platform Support
Both MS Access x86 and Access x64 databases are supported.
Access-to-Access Migration
All Access related converters and sync tools can move data between two Access databases configured as source and target.
Top 5 Reasons to Migrate from Microsoft Access to Server Databases
Deployment of Information
Migrating Access to a server based solution opens up your possibilities to utilize your data. Any kind of server-based client can use the information, not just Access. This allows your data to be exploited extensively in more contexts, and by more people, increasing its value.
Web Accessibility
Your database becomes more accessible over the Web. Although Access provides some capabilities for making a web-based database, there is undoubtedly a wider range of options available for server databases. The web interface is the best solution for providing a platform-independent entry point to your information. Browsers on many types of machines and devices can access it.
Management of Large Databases
Access Limitation
Total size limited to about 2 GB
Server Databases
Routinely manage terabytes of data efficiently
Multi-User Access
MS Access is generally intended for a single-user environment in a local use scenario. Although Access provides capabilities for data sharing, that is not really its strength.
Server Database Advantages
A server database offers the ability to manage large amounts of data efficiently. Such server databases were designed from the beginning to run in a networked environment for supporting large numbers of clients simultaneously.
Integrity and Backup Management
Migrating data from Access to a server-side database provides benefits for data integrity and backups.
Centralized Storage
Server databases provide centralized places to store data
Automated Backups
Automated backup capabilities exist for all popular database platforms
Note: Backup can be more complicated for individual Access users who store their data locally.
Hardware/Platform Choices
Access Limitation
Limited to Windows family OS exclusively
Server Databases
Run on Linux, Unix, and Windows platforms
Server database engines run on several platforms, giving you the flexibility to choose the best operating system for your specific needs and infrastructure requirements.
