Describes new Unwired Server features, including several platform-level features.
Extended clustering options
You can now use clusters for both Unwired Servers (to support load balancing) and consolidated databases (to support failover) in your highly available (HA) production environments. Together, server and database clusters allow you to scale your system strategically over time.

Production environment system security enhancements
- Scaling of security configuration to multiple levels (domains, packages), rather than using a single security implementation for all of Unwired Platform.
- Simplified secure port configuration from Sybase Control Center.
- Introduction of multiple default administration roles, so administration privileges can be assessed dynamically based on role type.

Message-based synchronization model
A message-based synchronization model is now available, in addition to the current replication-based synchronization model.
The message-based synchronization model provides background transmission from client to Unwired Server to submit operations, and from Unwired Server to client to push the latest changes on the server.
Characteristics include:
- Asynchronous.
- Always available.
- Changes are sent automatically.
- Supported on Microsoft® Windows®, Windows Mobile®, and Apple® iPhone® device platforms.
