In iWay 7, the iWay Integration Suite delivers a unified
toolset that ensures rapid access to timely, accurate data across
all systems, processes and stakeholders.
Designed to satisfy enterprise-scale, as well as project-oriented
and departmental-level integration requirements, the iWay Integration
Suite delivers comprehensive integration capabilities that allow
organizations to:
xiWay Application Integration Key Advantages
A unique and powerful enterprise service bus (ESB) enables
the creation, composition, and management of services, whether invoked
as web services or through other interfaces. In simple terms, an
ESB is a software protocol that delivers messages from one system
to another, for example, email (SMTP), queues such as MQ and MSMQ, relational
databases, and FTP sources.
iWay provides a native ESB if required. It also provides event-driven
integration and B2B interaction management and, unlike other ESBs,
interoperates with other ESBs and proprietary technologies as well
as industry standards.
The iWay Integration Suite lays the foundation
for real-time integration, and web-oriented or event-driven architectures.
It delivers rapid throughput and latency, making it a prime component
of high-performance networks and business processing solutions.
The iWay Integration Suite:
- Optimizes skilled
and expensive IT resources by reducing IT complexity and simplifying
service design, deployment, and maintenance.
- Drastically reduces
integration total cost of ownership (TCO) by eliminating most custom
integration code.
- Provides complete
support for service-enabling disparate enterprise technologies.
- Does not require
proprietary technology. It runs on top of popular messaging systems,
a variety of JMS implementations, and dozens of other common protocols,
and can be deployed to a standalone Java Virtual Machine, open-source
J2EE application servers, or any commercial J2EE application server.
It also supports security, architecture, and B2B standards including
AS1, AS2, AS3, SOAP, and REST (REpresentational State Transfer).
- Decentralizes development
while centralizing administration with a unique combination of distributed
run-time environments, easy-to-use graphical tools, and broad-reaching
monitoring and policy management.
- Provides real-time
activity monitoring, to identify and correct bottlenecks or inefficiencies
and remediate process and data exceptions.
- Integrates with the
iWay Data Quality Suite and Master Data Suite to enhance the completeness,
accuracy, and consistency of information.
- Automates and accelerates
deployment through tools, a console, or a script. Users can build
applications, then deploy them to a test and production environment,
or to multiple servers. iWay Integration Applications and the iWay
Software Development Kit (SDK) enable rapid deployment across multiple
environments in a managed and controlled manner, while fitting into
existing enterprise infrastructures.
- Facilitates real-time
data replication by copying source tables to target tables, even when
the database types vary, or by performing complex actions such as
manipulating data as it is transferred between tables, or cleansing
and transforming data as it is moved between databases.
- Supports Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), allowing users to track iWay activity
within a managed network using any popular third-party SNMP tool.
- Facilitates big data
management by enabling high-volume, high-performance document storage
through MapReduce-style parallel processing capabilities, as well
as integration with the Hadoop Distributed File System.
- Enables rapid, effective
management of trading partner and related activities through a comprehensive
infrastructure that dramatically improves the way partner transactions,
as well as those performed over external exchanges, are planned, executed,
and tracked.
xiWay Data Integration Key Advantages
Direct access to any data, in any source, allows organizations
to address the individual information needs of all users and systems.
iWay accelerates deployment and reduces risk for all types of data
integration projects, including enterprise information management,
data migration, web services, on-premise or cloud-based implementations, and
co-existing or federated integration platform as a service (iPaaS)
environments. The iWay Integration Suite provides:
- End-to-end integration
of the widest variety of sources, including big data, structured
and unstructured information, cloud-based sources, social networks,
and machine-generated data.
- Fast, flexible extraction,
transformation, and load (ETL) process creation, as well as message-based
integration involving heterogeneous data structures across disparate
platforms.
- Real-time data warehousing
with event listening capabilities across all applications, databases,
cloud, and legacy systems. Each event can trigger a variety of business
processes while feeding the data warehouse in real time.
- Simplified development
through a change data capture system completely integrated with
ETL.
- Bi-directional data
movement, where data can be fed to or extracted from a data warehouse.
- Messaging, replication, event-based integration, managed file
transfer, and non-intrusive log-scraping technology to avoid impact
on source systems.
- Advanced transformation
and data dictionary capabilities.
- Integration with
data quality services to cleanse data before it is fed into the warehouse.
- Master data management,
inside and outside the warehouse.
- An advanced message-based
SOA architecture for seamless integration with business processes.
