Other Replication Providers

Can anyone tell me the names of some non-Microsoft Replication providers? I
have found a company called Peer Direct, but would like to see what other
alternatives exist for replication.
Thanks in advance

What precisely are you trying to accomplish.
Sometimes people run to 3rd party products because of problems they have
with native SQL Server replication, when a support call to PSS could solve
the problem.
Last I heard the DataMirror licenses where $30k.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look at it.

Thanks for the response. We have a database that is being replicated to
2 other sites currently and will probably add anywhere from 1 to 15 sites
over the next few years. As I mentioned before, some of the sites are
disconnected for extended periods of times. In setting up and maintaining
the merge replication we have in place, we have found a number of issues
with replication that concern us from the point of long-term data transfer.
One of these issues is the fact that MS seems to strongly suggest that a
snapshot be periodically created and pushed to existing subscribers.
Another is how the retention and re-initialization procedures work. We are
not always in a situation where we can have all of the subscribers connected
at the same time to re-initialize them.
