MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform helps corporations and government agencies overcome a key application development challenge - efficiently bridging the gap between diverse existing enterprise data sources and the new forms of data required by new projects, applications, and architectures. Challenges include providing access to data from disparate sources, resolving semantic differences between sources and consumers of data, and providing performance that meets service-level agreements. With MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform, developers and architects create, deploy, and manage data services that access, transform, integrate, and aggregate data to provide the information needed by applications while hiding the complex details of underlying physical data sources. This enables application teams to reduce development effort and streamline project time frames and budgets.

MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform is a powerful data services management system that enables rapid creation, deployment, and management of data services. It provides tools for creating a wide range of 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 performance, data integrity, and security.

MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform consists of the following major components:

• MetaMatrix Enterprise Designer, the Eclipse-based design tool for creating and testing data services.
• MetaMatrix Enterprise Server, the server-based runtime environment that executes data services and provides optimization, caching, security, and other features.
• MetaMatrix Repository, a 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, a 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.

With MetaMatrix Enterprise Data Services Platform...faster development, better information

• 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.
