Gemstone EDF

Why do you need an Enterprise Data Fabric?
As organizations aim to streamline their business processes through IT initiatives such as Service-oriented architectures (SOA), Grid computing and Event-driven architectures (EDA), the following key data management challenges need to be addressed:
-1. Providing reliable and high speed access to data
-2. Virtualizing information from many sources and delivering it to distributed users and applications
-3. Scaling to increasing volumes of data and events
-4. Dealing with static data as well as ‘data in motion’ or dynamic data

Attempts to re-tool existing infrastructure entities such as databases, messaging and enterprise information integration (EII) technologies to satisfy these requirements is often cumbersome and ineffective.-Issues around latency, scalability and costly data replication still persist, while deployment and ownership costs increase.

An EDF provides an elegant, non-disruptive solution that seamlessly fits into your existing environments. An EDF represents a middle-tier operational data infrastructure that:

-1. Holds data across distributed memory and disk and guarantees extremely fast data access
-2. Provides access to data via developer-friendly, standard APIs (Java, C++, C#, XML, SQL, SOAP, etc.)
-3. Deals with fast changing data/events to support complex event processing (CEP)
-4. Distributes and replicates data to guarantee high availability and data consistency
-5. Scales to thousands of distributed nodes in grid-like environments.

An EDF promotes real-time data access and analysis for better decisions, more transactional throughput and resilient business operations.-Irrespective of the industry, all these benefits translate to increased revenues, better customer service-and compliance at a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
