SQL Swerver (7/15/2014)
...is there any news on SQL Data Sync? I can find old postings on TechNet and MSDN but cannot see any sign of that functionality within the Portal. I guess another feature retired before it lived?
It's called Sync Framework now. I tried to use it instead of replication for some local servers and if you do the same on anything more than the barest quantity of data you're going to have an extremely bad time. It's really designed for synchronising tiny amounts of data to mobile/tablet clients and it's quite a pain to work with (I was using PowerShell).
