Oracle Buys Sunopsis
Sunopsis, a provider of high-performance data integration products for heterogeneous IT environments, has been acquired by Oracle. Sunopsis data integration products are built using next generation "Extract Load Transform (ELT)" architecture. The data transformations take place within the source or target databases without the need for an ETL server. This results in higher performance and scalability along with easier maintenance for data integration solutions.
Oracle and Sunopsis have complementary products with a shared focus on delivering the data integration products to our customers. Real-time information access, next-generation architectures and more mixed IT environments are driving increased requirements for sophisticated, fast, heterogeneous data integration solutions. We plan to incorporate Sunopsis’ high-performance data integration technology into the Oracle Fusion Middleware product family and make it an integrated part of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Business Intelligence (BI), and Master Data Management (MDM) solutions from Oracle. Sunopsis products are optimized for heterogeneous IT environments and as part of Oracle’s hot-pluggable middleware architecture, Oracle is committed to supporting Oracle and non-Oracle data sources and targets.
Comments
Hi,
You're suggesting higher performance with transformation occuring at the source with the ETL approach. However, surely this must lead to a performance degradation at the source, seeing as the processing resources at the source are used to now transform the data.
Please advise,
Shainal.
