Leading ETL Vendor Selects Librados Adapters after Rigorous Benchmarking
SAN RAMON, CA (PRWEB) March 29, 2004-—Librados Inc., the company that is changing the economics of the adapter business, today announced that Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: EMBT) has selected the Librados family of pre-built JCA Adapters to meet their requirements for a massively scalable integration solution with enterprise systems such as SAP R/3, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Siebel and others. Librados continues to add marquee software vendors to its growing list as it answers the need for low-cost, royalty-free, standards-based application integration solutions.
Embarcaderos customers, including 97 of the Fortune 100 companies, demand high-performance solutions that enable them to quickly extract, transform and move massive amounts of data between enterprise databases and systems. When Embarcadero decided it was time to extend these capabilities to packaged ERP applications, they knew that they would have to deliver the same level of performance their customers had come to expect from their existing database solutions.
Librados provided Embarcadero with a pure Java, JCA standards based solution that could run in any J2EE 1.3 or above application server, Web server or stand-alone JVM environment. This gave Embarcadero the flexibility they needed. And, unlike other adapter solutions, there was no proprietary integration software to install outside the application server environment.
Librados standards based adapters fit well within our overall architecture, were easy to integrate, and have excellent performance," said Charles Norman, director of business development, Embarcadero Technologies. We were impressed when we saw the performance benchmark results, and we feel the Librados solutions will go a long way in helping us extend our product solutions to the packaged enterprise applications market place."
We are delighted to have Embarcadero Technologies as a customer," said David Richards, Librados CEO. This win clearly demonstrates our ability to massively scale, unlike any other enterprise application adapter vendor. We will continue to distort the economics in this space by offering royalty-free source code."
"Standards-based, loosely-coupled approaches to integration are significantly and irreversibly changing the integration landscape as we know it," said Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst with ZapThink, LLC. "Companies like Librados are proving that integration does not have to be costly, complex, or proprietary. Integration, like much of IT, is finally becoming a commodity that all companies can afford."
