Talend has announced the availability of Talend Open Studio version 2.2, as well as Activity Monitoring Console /Personal Edition, delivering the benefit of a single console for all integration jobs. The release of the new and updated applications comes at the one year anniversary of the first release of Talend Open Studio.

Talend Open Studio version 2.2 provides support for event-based action triggering, as well as SOA functionality enabling users to expose data integration processes as Web services. In addition, the updated release of Talend Open Studio is based on the most recent version of Eclipse (version 3.3), allowing companies to benefit from improvements such as support for Windows Vista.

With over 150 native connectors available, Talend Open Studio is robust and easy-to-use. Incorporated in the version 2.2 release are additional specialized connectors giving customers more options, capabilities, and power. New connectors provided include slowly changing dimensions for MySQL, Oracle, Ingres, MS SQL Server, DB2, and Sybase (with support for types 1, 2 and 3); support for stored procedures in Oracle, MS SQL Server, Ingres, MySQL, DB2; as well as native support for very large databases such as Teradata or platforms such as IBM’s System i (formerly known as AS/400 and iSeries).

Alongside the availability of Talend Open Studio version 2.2, Talend is also releasing Activity Monitoring Console /Personal Edition. With the capability to monitor the distributed execution of all data integration jobs from one centralized tool, the Activity Monitoring Console enables users to gather execution data from local and remote systems simultaneously. It provides notifications upon failure or error as well as the ability to analyze statistics and trends and detect potential execution bottlenecks before they occur.
