What Fivetran HVR is
Fivetran HVR is a self-hosted product for enterprise-level replication across databases and file systems. It captures source transaction logs in real time, compresses data, and can encrypt it before sending it to a hub for routing. Channels organize replication, comparison, scheduling, error handling, and performance tuning between sources and targets. Users can configure, manage, and monitor replication through a web interface, command line interface, or REST API. The HVR Hub Server runs on Linux or Windows machines, including physical, virtual, or containerized systems; HVR Agents support Linux, Solaris, AIX, and Windows. Listed database support includes Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL, Azure SQL Database and Managed Instance, Db2 variants, Ingres, MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SAP HANA, SQL Server, Sybase ASE, and YugabyteDB. Capabilities vary by location and HVR release. Pricing is on request, and a 14-day trial is listed; there is no free plan. HVR 6 requires both Hub and Agent machines to use HVR 6.x.
