Data Integration Study Compares ETL with Next Generation Technologies - http://bit.ly/qY0RFx
While ETL continues to be the predominant data integration technology in use today, the sheer size and complexity of today's information and application systems require new levels of innovation that lower costs, deliver rapid time to value, and put more control into the hands of business users.
A new study by IdealNet, a professional business expertise and technical services company, takes a look at the data integration technology curve, from the 1980s to present day, examining first, second and third generation solutions. It also compares first generation tools such as conventional ETL with newer open source and data virtualization technologies, and includes recommendations as to which technologies would be most appropriate based on an organization's data integration requirements.
The results of the study are captured in a video, titled "An Analysis of Data Integration Technologies." Some of the key findings:
· Informatica is the leading provider of ETL, clearly defines ETL for batch oriented bulk file transfer
· Talend and Pentaho are the open source leaders with associated ETL and BI strategies
· ETL is limited in scalability – each connection is essentially standalone
· Queplix 3rd generation product – leading data virtualization solution, better suited to integrate 2, 3, 4 or more sources
· Unique advanced data virtualization platform provides greater capability, lowers costs

Utah Transit Authority Relies on Nexsan Assureon for Automated Data Archiving and Disaster Recovery - http://bit.ly/pvNbQU
Utah Transit Authority Relies on Nexsan Assureon for Automated Data Archiving and Disaster Recovery
Expansive Public Transportation Agency Reduces its Backup Window Using Secure Online Archiving Solution from Nexsan
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., July 26, 2011 -- Nexsan®, a leading independent provider of disk-based storage systems, today announced that the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has selected the Nexsan Assureon® to improve its object storage archive, assure regulatory compliance and seamlessly support its disaster recovery strategy. Using Assureon from Nexsan, UTA has dramatically reduced its backup window from five days to one while improving the overall performance, integrity and availability of its data, video archives, and CAD drawing archives.
UTA operates a public transportation system throughout the Wasatch Front of Utah. Transportation includes fixed route buses, express buses, ski buses, three light rail lines (TRAX), and a commuter rail line (FrontRunner) that travels from Salt Lake City to Peasant View, north of Ogden. Its main operations are based in Salt Lake City.
As with most public transportation agencies, a large volume of the data UTA must protect comes from video surveillance of the stations and vehicles it operates. Literally mountains of surveillance video can be captured every day. This combined with heavy operational usage of unstructured data was creating volumes of data that UTA needed to efficiently and effectively archive to meet compliance and regulatory requirements.
Initially, UTA utilized the Assureon secure archive to protect its archived email, scanned documents and departmental/user files produced by UTA’s ~2,000 employees. Assureon provides efficient and secure protection of unstructured data compared to the traditional backup of the same files over and over that UTA performed prior to Assureon. Now UTA protects files from day one within Assureon where they are efficiently stored for simplified recovery and assured protection. In addition, Assureon periodically audits data for file integrity and availability throughout the life of the stored data.
UTA turned to its trusted solution provider, Ramsys Computer for a solution. “UTA’s data growth was having a tremendous impact on their backup window,” said Kirby Park, President, Ramsys Computer. “It was taking them five days to perform a full backup. They needed to find a solution that could dramatically reduce the backup window without requiring heavy time investments or complex management. That’s when we recommended Nexsan Assureon. It would provide the ability to separate the backup and archive streams for the enhanced performance and optimization needed to support remote replication while scaling to multiple petabytes to meet storage requirements.”
Ramsys Computer used a replicated Nexsan Assureon system to build a tiered storage solution. The replicated Assureon system was deployed at two separate sites within nine miles of each other and connected with a fiber optic IP network for disaster recovery. UTA also deployed multiple Nexsan SASBeast® storage systems with a combination of SAS and SATA drives
“I was impressed by the Nexsan Assureon solution delivered by Ramsys,” said John Jones, Desktop and Systems Supervisor, UTA. “We found significant value in the features and were even more surprised by the price. It was a fraction of that charged by other system vendors. With Assureon we reduced our backup window and significantly improved our overall storage efficiency. It has proven to be a very capable storage archive, both simple and reliable. You just set it and forget it.”
Part of the Nexsan Flexible Storage Platform™ of products, Assureon is a secure online archive that is ideal for storage optimization, regulatory and corporate compliance, and long-term archiving. For storage optimization, Assureon offloads primary storage to free up space for active data and thereby reduces the size, time and costs of monthly full backups by completely eliminating the unstructured datasets from the backup stream. For UTA, the existing backup environment was sufficient once Assureon moved the unstructured data sets from the backup stream to the archive stream. For regulatory and corporate compliance, Assureon complies with governmental regulatory requirements including HIPPA, SOX and SEC-17 and simplifies the enforcement of company data retention, privacy and protection policies. Ultimately, Assureon delivers reliability, efficiency, and ease of management UTA needs for its archiving processes.
“Organizations that rely on Assureon often see immediate results in terms of storage optimization and performance,” said Victoria Grey, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Nexsan. “But often of even greater value is the solution’s long term scalability, support for compliance regulations and absolute data integrity. Assureon delivers multiple value propositions for end-to-end data protection by providing archiving, disaster recovery and replication in a single solution that seamlessly integrate into UTA’s existing environment.”

Gridstore’s Scale-out NAS offering combines the simplicity, convenience and affordability of NAS with the scalability, performance and reliability of enterprise-class storage at half the cost of proprietary solutions.
The Gridstore next-generation storage solution consolidates distributed NAS islands into a powerful, enterprise-class storage grid. As a result, the Gridstore Scale-out NAS solution is an ideal offering for Managed Service Providers (MSP), small and medium sized businesses (SMB), and distributed enterprises because it eliminates storage sprawl and combines the ease of NAS with the scalability and performance of enterprise-class storage.
“I selected Gridstore because I can get a scalable and reliable scale-out NAS system that provides me with enterprise features with minimal capital investment, and I don’t have to plan or pay for my future storage requirements today,” said Steve Garcia, systems and security administrator, Wenatchee Valley College. “We are implementing the Gridstore Scale-out NAS solution across our different departments and campuses; the system's combination of scalability and economies of scale are a very compelling value proposition for anyone who wants an on-demand storage solution that lets you add capacity on the fly with no performance or management headaches.”
The Gridstore storage platform is designed to eliminate the risk, cost and complexity of traditional silo-based storage and gives SMBs a “Pay as you Grow” pricing model that allows organizations to add storage as needed to eliminate the high cost of over provisioning and managing storage resources - while minimizing the reliability and risk of multiple NAS storage silos.
“Faculty, administrators and IT professionals in higher education are facing the same storage challenges as larger enterprises, but are severely limited to the amount of resources and money available to effectively manage their 24/7 operations,” said Kelly Murphy, CEO, Gridstore. “If storage stops their campus stops and this is not an option. Gridstore leverages all the benefits of NAS, but on an enterprise-scale so that everyone in higher education receives the scale-out NAS solution they need with the simplicity and reliability they require.”

Vision for the Future: The Evolution of the Data Integration Market - http://bit.ly/qY0RFx
One of the major challenges organizations face today is how to bridge applications together in a way that enables true data mobility - integrating critical information across different business functions such as HR, sales, accounting, and customer support, so that all they key components of the organization can be preserved and shared among different application systems to drive greater business value.
A newly released video from Queplix™ called Vision for the Future: the Evolution of the Data Integration Market, provides an overview of first, second, and third generation data integration technologies, as well as the emergence of fourth generation, or Next Generation (NGEN), and the capabilities organizations should expect to see in 2012 and 2013.
The overview points out that, contrary to what most might believe, legacy or first generation ETL (extract, transform, load) technology is still predominantly used for data integration today. Further, many of the early integration cloud vendors are simply hosting 20-year old ETL technology in their one-year old clouds.
In sharp contrast, advanced data virtualization technology is powering third and fourth generation data integration products that represent the next wave. The Next Generation will be driven by a powerful convergence of data integration, management, virtualization, abstraction, persistent servers for automated data quality and governance, cloud and on-premise systems, virtual master data management and more. With NGEN, organizations will achieve true data mobility.

Automating Data Quality: A Template for Data Integration - http://bit.ly/qY0RFx
Keeping data consistent across business functions such as marketing and customer support is essential for the vitality of today's organizations. But when companies need to integrate data between applications, the consistency of data, or data quality, becomes an issue. Basic problems such as null fields, duplicate records, syntax problems, range problems and more, impact data quality and with multiple application sources and master data management, it becomes a complex and expensive problem to solve.
In this video <http://bit.ly/qY0RFx>, Michael Zuckerman, chief marketing officer for Queplix™ Corp <http://www.queplix.com/>., outlines a template for data integration that involves automating data quality processes. This step by step template discusses the essentials of data quality - measurement and review, reporting and remediation, data governance, and data normalization and alignment, whether integrating two data sources or many. A highly automated approach <http://www.queplix.com/products/architecture.html> delivers a faster, easier method to maintaining data quality, reducing risk, and improved results.
