MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform

MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform is a powerful data services management system. It provides tools for creating data services accessible through JDBC, ODBC or web service protocols, a repository for storing data service definitions with relevant metadata, and a robust execution environment that provides enterprise-class performance, data integrity, and security.

MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform helps reduce the time and cost of software development and integration by quickly bridging the gap between the data you have and the data you need. When multiple project teams maintain duplicate or inconsistent data sources, organizations lack a single, integrated view of enterprise data that is fully accurate and accountable in real time.

Key Components of MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform include:

• MetaMatrix Enterprise Designer - Eclipse-based design tool for creating and testing data services.
• MetaMatrix Enterprise Server - Server-based runtime environment that executes data services and provides optimization, caching, and security.
• MetaMatrix Repository - Multi-user metadata management system that incorporates a rich metadata repository and support for sharing metadata across a project team or across the enterprise.
• The MetaMatrix Console - Client application that enables administration of the various components, including configuration of hosts, processes, and services; system monitoring and logging; configuration of security; and other administrative tasks.

• Faster development, better integration.
• Quickly create data services to address a range of data requirements for one project, across several projects, or throughout the enterprise.
• Decouple applications from physical data sources to ease development and maintenance.
• Bridge semantic and vocabulary gaps between existing data sources, new project data requirements, and mandated standards.
• Reduce development and maintenance time - implement data access, transformation, integration, and aggregation without programming.
• Develop systems that provide consistent, current data in real time - with enterprise performance.
• Manage data services and related metadata for easy discovery and reuse - to take full advantage of work already done.
