SAN MATEO, CALIF. - May 4, 2009 - Composite Software, Inc., the data virtualization leader, today began shipping the newest upgrade of its flagship product, Composite Information Server(TM), version 5.0. For the first time, enterprise and government agency IT teams can flexibly choose development environments in which to build enterprise-scale data virtualization: Composite Designer(TM)--optimized for Web services and Java-centric development, and Composite Studio(TM)--optimized for relational-centric methods.
As global enterprises seek to maximize the value of their existing data, they must incorporate all possible data sources across their extended enterprises. Increasingly, these enterprises are mandating standards for more efficient data sharing across business groups, geographic locations and outside the firewall with partners/suppliers. Data virtualization and web services help government agencies and enterprises across a broad spectrum of industries to implement their industry- and enterprise-specific XML data-sharing standards. The newest Composite Information Server enables enterprise and data architects, business intelligence (BI) project leads and Information Competency Center (ICC) teams to work in the development environment they're most familiar with/comfortable using to build the data services that support data sharing, extending across the enterprise the data virtualization benefits they've achieved on a project basis.
"Data virtualization provides huge value to enterprise IT," said David Linthicum, an internationally known expert on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and application integration. "This technology approaches data virtualization using key standards, and data services, which should accelerate enterprise adoption."
