Aberdeen
Report Unveils New Approach To
Information Aggregation
| WHAT:
|
A
new research report that profiles technology which makes
information aggregation more scalable and cost-effective
by utilizing storage in the mid-tier of data architectures.
Products profiled include the TigerLogic XML Data Management
Server (XDMS), an operational data server – built
specifically to handle the operational data needs of Web
applications.
|
| WHO: |
Written
by Aberdeen Managing VP of Research and noted information
integration and data management expert Wayne Kernochan.
|
| WHY: |
Increased
use of Web-enabled multi-tier applications has created
significant demand for enterprise data access, leading
IT managers to over-provision back-end systems when they
really don’t need to: roughly 50 percent of data
requests are ‘read-only’, inquiries that don’t
alter the records kept on the back-end in any way. The
Aberdeen paper will show how mid-tier operational data
servers such as Raining Data’s TigerLogic XDMS can
substantially reduce the need for over-provisioning back-end
networking or server capacity and provide timely access
to aggregated views of structured and unstructured data.
