Composite Software Adds Support for RainStor’s Big Data Management Database
Posted on January 18th, 2012
Combined solution provides retention and compliant access to large volumes of data across the enterprise
San Francisco and San Mateo, CA, January 18, 2012 — Composite Software and RainStor today announced that Composite has added access to RainStor’s Big Data management database, growing the list of popular enterprise applications it supports including Oracle, SAP, and salesforce.com as well as relational and multi-dimensional data sources from IBM, IBM Netezza, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP BW, SAP Sybase and Teradata.
RainStor is used as a primary database to ingest, retain and manage high volumes of multi-structured data such as logs, call data, financial service transactions, smart meter data and other forms of automated machine-generated data. RainStor also announced today a new product edition that runs natively on Hadoop providing query and analytics through both SQL and MapReduce. RainStor is also used as a secondary database for holding historical data from retired applications as well as enterprise data warehouses such as Teradata.
In all of these scenarios, Composite allows the data retained within RainStor to be easily combined with other enterprise data scattered throughout the organization. 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.
“The combination of the two technologies provides a cost effective and high performance way to retain and access data on demand without the need to create multiple copies and deal with the complexities of moving data between environments,” said Claudia Imhoff, president of Intelligent Solutions, Inc., a leading authority on BI and data warehousing.
“RainStor allows enterprises to retain Big Data for compliance and historical business analysis,” said RainStor VP Product Management Ramon Chen. “We are often asked for the best way to combine the data stored in RainStor with information from its originating source or across other related content. We are delighted to partner with Composite Software to offer this capability as they represent the gold standard for data virtualization.”
According to Peter Tran, Composite Software vice president of product marketing, “To maintain our success as the market’s leading enterprise data virtualization solution, we must continuously add the latest, most innovative data sources. RainStor’s compelling economics for Big Data management and our joint philosophy of simplicity in enterprise data access makes our products a natural fit.”
