Problem – Business Agility Constrained by IT Complexity
Large enterprises and government agencies face similar challenges including:
- Constant business change necessitating rapid IT response;
- Growing data volumes and complexity that increase risk and reduce agility; and
- Financial constraints necessitating more cost-effective IT solutions.
Traditional data integration approaches such as consolidation and replication alone are unable to keep pace. Seeking greater agility, lower costs, and less risk, organizations increasingly rely on Composite Software’s data virtualization products and services.
Solution – Gain Agility and Cut Costs with Composite Data Virtualization
The Composite Data Virtualization Platform, provides a more agile, lower cost data integration approach that overcomes data complexity and disparate silos to provide business with the timely data it needs to meet today’s ever-changing business requirements. Composite data virtualization delivers the following benefits:
- Business and IT Agility– Beat competitors by responding faster to new and rapidly changing information demands;
- Cost Savings – Save staff and infrastructure resources from the start. Compound these savings over time; and
- Risk Reduction – Increase project success via rapid development and quick iterations.
The Composite Data Virtualization Platform includes high-performance query middleware and complementary offerings that integrate data from multiple, disparate sources - anywhere across the extended enterprise - in a unified, logically virtualized manner for on-demand consumption by a wide range of front-end business solutions.
Overcome Difficult Data Integration Challenges
The Composite Software Data Virtualization Platform addresses enterprise-scale data integration requirements while avoiding the higher costs and longer lead-times associated with data consolidation and replication.
Advance beyond physical integration to accelerate business success
These challenges include:
- Query Optimization – Up-to-the-minute data is a key business requirement. Composite’s industry-leading, high-performance query optimization algorithms and techniques deliver the timely data required by consuming solutions on demand, without impacting source system performance.
- Incomplete Information – Data frequently needs to be combined with other data to provide insight. Composite’s data federation virtually combines multiple sources, both inside and outside the firewall, without the cost and overhead of physical consolidation.
- Source & Consumer Disparity – Data is diverse, with source structures and consumer needs rarely a match. Composite’s data abstraction transforms raw data from its native structure and syntax into high-quality views and data services. Semantically meaningful, standards-compliant and reusable, these objects are easy for solutions developers to understand and for solutions to consume.
- Complexity – In large enterprises, data is often difficult to identify and understand. Composite’s data discovery automates entity and relationship identification and accelerates data modeling to overcome data complexity.
- Multiple Physical Locations – Data is hard to reach, residing in multiple repositories and locations. Composite’s data access securely exposes required data, making it available from a single virtual location, regardless of where it is physically stored.
- Security, Quality & Governance – Data is a critical asset that must be governed. The Composite Data Virtualization Platform fully implements authentication, authorization, encryption and quality policies and standards to ensure maximum control.
Flexibly Deploy Composite to Meet a Range of Integration Needs
The Composite Data Virtualization Platform is typically deployed at two levels, often as a complement to other integration approaches such as consolidation or replication. At the project level, it virtually integrates the data for a specific application or use case. On an enterprise level, it is implemented as common data services or as a loosely-coupled data abstraction layer for sharing and reusing data across multiple applications.
As users scale adoption from project to enterprise, Composite provides solutions for enterprise customer’s most frequent data virtualization use patterns including:
- Data Federation
- Data Warehouse Extension
- Enterprise Data Sharing
- Real-time Enterprise Data Infrastructure
- Cloud Data Integration
Leading enterprises across a range of industries rely on Composite data virtualization.
Rely on the Data Virtualization Gold Standard
Unlike vendors that have only recently added data virtualization to their ETL or BI solutions, Composite Software has spent nearly a decade solving the toughest data virtualization problems for the world’s leading global organizations. The Composite Data Virtualization Platform sets the performance standard with the industry’s fastest query optimization algorithms and techniques, highest scaling architecture and richest caching options.
