JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform

Turn the data you have into the information you need

Do you have data from multiple sources that you need to unify into a single trusted, accurate, accountable source? Need to integrate new and changed data sources in your application infrastructure? Try JBoss® Enterprise Data Services Platform-the best way to work with data across diverse systems.

The solution to disparate information? Data virtualization

In today's complex business environments, most organizations have large stores of information assets in disparate locations. While tremendously valuable, implementing new applications that leverage this information can be time-consuming and costly.

The solution to these challenges is data virtualization via the JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform (JBoss EDSP) and its enterprise service bus (ESB). Data virtualization lets you bring together and integrate data from multiple, disparate, even distributed sources and makes the data appear as if it's available in a single source. The ESB enables these data services to be easily integrated into applications, business processes, and user interfaces across the enterprise. JBoss Enterprise Data Services helps you build the Intelligent Integrated Enterprise by turning the data you have into the information you need.

Integrate and use data from many sources

JBoss EDSP is a powerful set of tools and runtime components that makes it easy for your applications and business processes to integrate and use data from many data sources. JBoss EDSP includes:

• Tools for creating data views that are accessible through standard protocols.
• A repository for storing metadata.
• A robust runtime environment that provides enterprise-class performance, data integrity, and security.

By simultaneously accessing multiple sources of data (databases, files, applications, services) and presenting the data in unified views, JBoss EDSP insulates applications from the underlying data source details. Data is accessed in real time without the need to copy or move it to a new location.

JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform extended

JBoss EDSP is a superset of JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform (JBoss SOA-P) and includes a full-use version of JBoss SOA-P with its next-generation ESB. JBoss EDSP augments and extends JBoss SOA-P to address data access, integration, and abstraction:

• Service-oriented architecture (SOA) patterns and best practices
• Reporting and analytics enablement
• Master data services
• Data governance and compliance
• Real-time read and write access to heterogeneous data stores
• Fast application development by simplifying access to distributed data
• Centralized access control and auditing

Benefits & Features

Increased return on assets (ROA)

Are you getting the most value from the many stores of information that exist in your organization? JBoss EDSP lets you maximize your ROA by easily reusing existing data in new applications and business processes, resulting in:

• Improved usage of your data assets.
• More value from your existing investments.

Reduce the time and cost of software development, integration, and maintenance by quickly bridging the gap between the data you have and the data you need.

Greater agility and faster time to solution

JBoss EDSP lets you speed your time to implementation by quickly repurposing data assets into data services that target the use case at hand. JBoss EDSP eliminates the need for expensive, resource-intensive hand-coding and is faster and much less costly than batch data movement.

Quickly create data services to address a range of data requirements for 1 project, across several projects, or throughout the enterprise, leveraging the ESB. Data virtualization provides loose coupling, optimizing development and maintenance.

Improved organizational performance

JBoss EDSP helps you get the right data at the right time to the right people, applications, and business processes through the ESB:

• Provides decision support and greatly enhances the value of business intelligence (BI) with a complete view of the information you need
• Combines real-time operational data with historical information
• Allows the mixing of on-premise data with cloud data

Enterprise-class reliability and scalability

JBoss EDSP shields users from service disruptions by using JBoss Enterprise Application Platform as its proven foundation for applications that require superior performance and scalability. Its high-availability services provide the clustering, caching, failover, load balancing, and distributed deployment features you'd expect in a best-of-breed platform.
