Integration of Coral8 Engine with IBM Software Delivers High-Performance CEP With XML, Messaging and Event Warehousing
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 16 // -- Coral8, Inc., a leading provider of Complex Event Processing (CEP) software, today announced support and tight integration between the Coral8 Engine and IBM DB2 9 and WebSphere MQ as part of the ongoing strategic relationship with the company. The integration between these complementary products allows customers to implement Complex Event Processing (CEP) solutions that take advantage of best-in-class functionality offered by both suppliers, including Native XML processing, event storage and warehousing, and high-speed messaging.
"Coral8's SQL-based Continuous Computation Language (CCL), tight database integration and Native XML processing provide a real-time event processing accompaniment to DB2 9 environments," said Bernie Spang, director, IBM data servers. "The similar languages and integrated features allow customers to use the combination of DB2 9 and Coral8 to rapidly build and deploy CEP applications requiring high performance processing, historical and reference data integration, and event warehousing on any data stream, including XML."
Product Integration and Benefits
Complex Event Processing solutions require high performance run-time execution and common development methods shared between infrastructure products, including a CEP engine, database software and messaging infrastructure. The Coral8 Engine offers unique, powerful features for development and run-time execution that enable high-performance CEP applications. With this offering, Coral8 is delivering tight integration with related IBM software products that allows customers and partners to seamlessly build robust CEP applications:
o Native XML processing -- DB2 9 pureXMLTM and Coral8 Native XML both provide high-performance XML processing. This common functionality allows customers to natively process XML-based streams in Coral8 and store XML formatted events and results in DB2.
o High-performance reference and historical data integration -- The
Coral8 Engine supports high performance caching of reference and
historical data managed by databases. This Coral8 interface is
optimized for DB2.
o Native DB2 language support -- The Coral8 database sub-query feature allows programmers to write native language queries to databases. Through this feature, programmers can write native DB2 queries inside a Coral8 application that take full advantage of the power of the DB2 9 data server.
o Event storage and warehousing -- The Coral8 Engine offers asynchronous, parallel and batched writes, and transparent queuing of database transactions, to maintain high throughput when storing events or results in databases. Developers can use DB2's exceptional data management and warehousing for large-scale storage of events processed by Coral8.
o Event stream capture and publishing via WebSphere MQ -- a Coral8
adapter for WebSphere MQ allows customers to seamlessly integrate MQ event messaging into Coral8 CEP applications.
"Delivering high-performance event-driven applications requires optimized integration between infrastructure software components, such as a CEP engine, database software and messaging queuing," said Terry Cunningham, CEO, Coral8. "Our focus is to deliver industry-leading CEP features in the Coral8 Engine, and work closely with complementary software products so customers can seamlessly take advantage of the superior features each has to offer. DB2 9, with its pureXML(TM) and data warehousing features, and WebSphere MQ represent market-leading software with which our customers want close integration."
Golden Mean -- An Integrated Coral8 / DB2 Solution
Golden Mean, a high-performance data management solution provider, offers a Market Compliance and Conformity (MCC) solution that provisions rates used at time of trade to manage compliance data for regulatory authorities, the IRS and other bodies. The Golden Mean MCC solution requires high performance integration between the Coral8 Engine, used for real-time event processing, and DB2, used for high-volume event and results warehousing.
"The integration between the Coral8 Engine and DB2 9 products allows us to take advantage of the industry-leading features of each product and use a common programming model without sacrificing real-time performance," said Greg Stevens, managing director for Golden Mean. "This integration allows us to bring best-of-breed solutions to market faster and with much lower development costs."
Availability
The Coral8 Engine Version 4.4 with high-performance database and Native XML processing integration with DB2 9 is available immediately. The Coral8 WebSphere MQ adapter will be available in the fourth quarter of 2006.
