Raining
Data Announces TigerLogic® FastSOA Product Launch at
Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit 2006
TigerLogic
FastSOA Solves Performance Bottlenecks of Web Services and Service
Oriented Architectures (SOA) by Caching Data in the Mid-tier
in its Native XML Format
GARTNER
Application Integration and Web Services Summit 2006, San Diego,
Calif., June 19, 2006 – Raining Data today announced TigerLogic
FastSOA Product Launch at the Gartner Application Integration
and Web Services Summit 2006. Raining Data is located in Booth
V during the Solution Showcase.
Web
Services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) places new
demands on the existing technical infrastructure within enterprises,
organizations and institutions. While SOA yields desirable flexibility,
the downside is often decreased performance. As the number of
applications and services in the organization increases, XML
message exchange among shared services becomes the bottleneck,
particularly for services that access databases using multiple
and complex schemas. TigerLogic FastSOA mid-tier data and service
cache provides accelerated access to enterprise data and avoids
performance problems from a concentration of requests through
a small number of data access services. Mid-tier data caching
offers a solution to achieve required system performance and
flexibility by moving the required data as close to the services
as possible.
TigerLogic FastSOA mid-tier data cache adheres to open standards
and plugs into existing technology environments using current
protocols and formats. Little or no custom code is required.
Data is cached in native XML format either in memory or on disk.
Keeping cached data in native XML provides an efficient service
response to XML-based requests such as SOAP and avoids costly
transformations between XML to Java Objects to Mapped Relational
Data.
TigerLogic FastSOA is powered by the high performance TigerLogic
XML Data Management Server (XDMS). TigerLogic XDMS is up to
22x faster than relational and other XML databases for XML data.
Raining Data also offers the FastSOA Performance and Scalability
Test Kit so that clients can perform independent testing in
their own environment.
“FastSOA:
Accelerate SOA with XML, XQuery, and native XML database technology,”
IBM developerWorks, February 7, 2006.
TigerLogic FastSOA can also be used as an XML message and/or
metadata repository to improve governance and knowledge in a
Web Services or SOA environment. As an XML message repository,
TigerLogic FastSOA captures and indexes all messages in their
native XML format. The XML message repository allows managers
to profile messages, payloads and transactions for auditing
and other purposes. By contrast, a relational database approach
would need to store payloads as Binary Large Objects (BLOBS)
and profile these contents with full text search, which is highly
inefficient and inaccurate. As a metadata repository, TigerLogic
FastSOA has a flexible hierarchical multidimensional structure
to handle new and changing metadata. By contrast, a relational
database approach has a rigid structure, which requires significant
effort to handle metadata changes and versioning.
About
the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit
2006
The Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit
2006 is the most focused event of its kind designed to help
enterprises prepare for the challenges of the changing nature
of software infrastructure and what it means for integration,
web services and architecture initiatives. Gartner Application
Integration and Web Services Summit hits the critical spot between
the strategic planning and tactical advice IT organizations
need to benchmark strategies on Web services security, SOA,
EDA, ESB, application process and data integration, standards,
and more.
