DataServices World 2008 West: SOA, WOA and Cloud Computing - The New Frontier for Data Services

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 09:35:00 EST

Data services, contends Rob Steward, Vice President of Research and Development at DataDirect Technologies, are critical to the predominant and emerging architectures we're embracing for building new systems. "Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming a standard enterprise architecture and Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA) is enabling organizations to pull together data from multiple sources and services," notes Steward, who will be presenting in the Keynote Hall at The Fairmont Hotel on November 20, 2008. "Cloud computing is an architecture that provides high-performance computing, massive data storage and scalability at commodity pricing," he adds.

XML end-to-end architectures are a natural follow-on to SOA: XML for the user interface, XML for data interchange, and XML for storage. Universal Services are a set of database operations, including insert, update, delete, and query, that expose stored XML as Web service operations.

Deconstructing Data Center 3.0

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 08:00:00 EDT

You may be wondering if there is anything to this “Data Center 3.0” thing beyond some clever marketing folks earning their paychecks. Well, clever marketing folks aside, the name was very explicitly chosen, so lets deconstruct it a bit. First of all, this is not LAN 3.0 or SAN 3.0, but Data Center 3.0.

A Look at Master Data Management as a Key Foundation for a Successful SOA

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:30:00 EST

Implementing a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has the potential to offer tremendous long-lasting benefits to the enterprise. First, it reduces cost by offering a smarter, better way of developing applications by turning both existing and new functionality into reusable services. The second SOA promise relates to composite applications that let developers leverage pieces of existing functionality and data that may be locked in independent applications and combine them to rapidly produce new business services or applications.

Master Data Management Meets SOA

Sun, 29 Apr 2007 18:15:00 EDT

Master Data Management (MDM) is often defined as 'management of master data (customer, product, supplier, etc.) that is shared across disparate IT systems and groups.' However, this simplistic description doesn't do justice to the complexity of the MDM's task and problem area. Master Data Management encompasses areas such as Customer Data Integration (CDI), Product Information Management (PIM), and Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN); and partially overlaps the areas of Identity Management System (IdM), Business Intelligence systems, data quality, and data integration. This broad area of potential application causes multiple perspectives, diversity of stakeholders, and a fair amount of confusion across clients investigating an MDM solution.

Complete Data Integration Through XQuery

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 10:00:00 EST

Most businesses have an urgent need for up-to-date, accurate information based on data from multiple data sources. It would be much easier if all your data were stored in one database so it can be queried as a whole, but this is rarely practical. In the real world, data integration is required. You need a simple, efficient way to query data found in various data sources.
