Attunity CDC Provides Right-Time Data Access, Movement

Attunity Ltd, a leading provider of standards-based integration solutions, announced the availability of Attunity CDC (Change Data Capture) to provide "right-time" access and movement for mainframe and legacy data. Using Attunity CDC, enterprises now have a flexible and robust solution for accessing and delivering corporate data at any time interval and to any user or application.

According to recent industry estimates, approximately 70 percent of corporate business information is stored in mainframe data sources. Attunity's CDC addresses the majority of mainframe customer needs with its pre-built change capture agent for VSAM. In addition, Attunity has released change capture agents that read from custom application logs on any of the other platforms supported by Attunity Connect; and, the Company plans to introduce pre-built CDC agents for DB2, Adabas and others later this year.

Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline strategies and road maps for Grid deployment.

With Attunity Connect technology companies can:

• Use bulk extracts to replicate large data sets from legacy systems
• Use CDC to replicate changes in legacy data (batch or real-time)
• Directly access operational data in legacy data sources
• Directly access federated data in disparate legacy data sources

Attunity's CDC is an extension to the market-leading Attunity Connect technology, with its distributed and natively optimized integration engines. Attunity's standard-based solution has been certified and works seamlessly with data integration platforms including IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Ascential, Business Objects, Hummingbird and Attunity's newest partner, Cognos.

Attunity is the only vendor in the market to provide "right-time" data access and movement, enabling enterprises to extend the value of business information stored in legacy data sources.

Dan Potter, vice president of marketing and business development at Attunity, said, "Attunity's 'right-time' integration capability improves the quality of existing business intelligence investments and dramatically reduces the time and cost of maintaining corporate data warehouses. Our flexible solution enables us to utilize any data source for multiple IT initiatives from ETL to operational reporting and enterprise integration."
