Sybase Unveils Sybase Data Integration Suite
Modular, Scalable Solution Helps Enterprises Integrate Heterogeneous Data Sources, Improving the Speed and Quality of Business Intelligence
LAS VEGAS, SYBASE TECHWAVE 2006 CONFERENCE, Aug. 7 // -- Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, today introduced the Sybase® Data Integration Suite, a flexible and scalable solution that combines key data integration techniques including replication, data federation, ETL (extract, tranform and load), real-time events and data search with integrated development and administration. Combined, these techniques enable enterprises to unleash the latent value of their data assets and improve the speed and quality of business intelligence across the organization.
"Sybase is furthering its leadership in the Unwired Enterprise by combining best-of-breed technologies into suites to simplify the management, integration and mobilization of information," said John Chen, chairman, CEO and president, Sybase. "With today's announcement and the recent launch of our Information Anywhere® Suite, Sybase is uniquely positioned to address the full software spectrum between the database and the device."
Sybase Data Integration Suite's broad, integrated capability will help customers gain a competitive advantage by providing an easier, more flexible way to combine data from multiple heterogeneous sources. Building data-rich applications for business intelligence, regulatory compliance, and customer relationship management becomes less complex. The suite builds on Sybase's extensive experience in data integration and offers particular value to enterprises utilizing analytic applications that combine historical and real-time data.
"Recognizing the need for consistent management of all styles of data integration and the issues associated with multiple overlapping data integration tools and vendors, organizations will increasingly seek a single toolset for creating data services which access, move, transform, integrate and deliver data. Narrow point solutions that address only one style of data integration (such as ETL) or a single use-case -- such as business intelligence (BI) -- are falling out of favor," writes co-author and Gartner Research Vice-President Ted Friedman, in "Predicts 2006: Navigating the Data Management Market and Usage Trends," November 2005.
Sybase Data Integration Suite capabilities will include:
o Replication -- Sybase Replication ensures all applications, including
real-time reporting systems that need to capture, extract and
synchronize data between various applications and locations, have
reliable access to the most current information across the enterprise.
o Data Federation -- Sybase Data Federation streamlines the integration of
data from many distributed sources while providing standardized access
to integrated views of data through a single data layer. It provides a
flexible, scalable and efficient way to integrate and deliver data
obtained from diverse distributed sources to key enterprise
applications. These functions include corporate performance, integrated
customer service, customer relationship management, risk management,
regulatory compliance and financial reporting applications that require
fresh data consolidated from multiple parts of the organization.
o Real Time Events -- Sybase Real Time Events proactively pushes
time-critical events from heterogeneous operational databases to
messaging architectures, eliminating the "information lags" created by
batch updates or intermittent polling processes. Sybase Real Time Events
enables downstream business processes to immediately react to changes
thereby increasing business agility.
o Search -- Sybase Search helps companies in data intensive industries
query and analyze their structured and unstructured data from both fixed
and mobile sources. Sybase Search enables applications to automatically
find the most important information within the masses of unstructured
information stored in an organization's centralized repositories,
libraries, file systems and existing document management systems.
o ETL -- Sybase ETL extracts and transforms data from operational data
systems and other sources and loads them into a single repository.
Sybase ETL capabilities combine industry leading ease-of-use with
unmatched scalability through a unique GRID architecture for one common
data transformation platform. Sybase ETL is based on technology from
Sybase's most recent acquisition of Solonde.
The Sybase Data Integration Suite, which supports both structured and unstructured data, is strengthened by integrated tools for modeling and design, application development and administration. Modeling and metadata management, provided through Sybase's industry-leading modeling solution, Sybase PowerDesigner®, ensures data design and control as integration requirements change to accommodate business needs. The integrated development tooling, Sybase WorkSpace, is based on the popular Eclipse framework.
The suite's modular, easy-to-deploy architecture enables IT managers to introduce new capabilities in an affordable, evolutionary way, immediately supporting tactical integration projects while comfortably scaling to the most sophisticated, enterprise-wide integration programs.
Sybase's Data Integration Suite complements Sybase's recently announced Information Anywhere Suite, which addresses converging enterprise requirements for mobile email, security, device management and application enablement. With the launch of these two suites, Sybase is delivering on its vision of the Unwired Enterprise -- removing barriers in the data flow so that information can flow seamlessly and securely between any data source and any device.
Product Availability
The components in Sybase Data Integration Suite 1.0 include Sybase Replication, Sybase Data Federation, Sybase Search and Sybase Real-Time Events. Sybase Data Integration Suite 1.0 is expected to be generally available in the fourth quarter of 2006. Sybase ETL, based on technology from Sybase's most recent acquisition, Solonde, is available separately now and is expected to be integrated in future versions of the suite.
