Today we announced a partnership with Composite Software to simplify and accelerate the integration of critical web data in large-scale data virtualization environments.
This is exiting!
In today’s world where data is rapidly spreading into data silos inside and outside company boundaries, the days of traditional ETL data consolidation to a central database or data warehouse are starting to fail with more frequency.
This is true for many reasons. For example, data synchronization and data timeliness issues, and all the expensive database and data warehouse licenses and storage hardware needed for the consolidation.
Today it’s critical to be able to access any data on the fly as efficiently as if the data was consolidated, but access at its source where it lives best and is accurate and fresh.
This is exactly the problem that Composite Software solves. Their smart virtualization and data access algorithms mean that you can access data as fast (or sometimes even faster) than if you consolidate the data, and at the same time get fresh, real-time data directly from the source.
But without Kapow, Composite can only access the data if you have documented SQL or API access, and as I wrote in my previous blog Why Distribution of Data is exploding and what we can do about it, more and more relevant data does not have documented programmatic access.
Now, combining the power of Kapow Web Data Server with Composite Software, you get a complete one-stop solution to access your data at its source – a solution that covers 100% of all relevant data sources for your business applications or analytics/BI solutions.
All this without expensive recoding of existing applications, expensive data warehouse solutions, nor needing documented API or feed access.
This is a valuable new partnership for Kapow and Composite, which our customers, and the market at large, will greatly benefit from!
