Zero Latency Processing and Real-Time Change Data Capture
- Support batch, near real-time, or real-time data integration latencies in one integrated product
- Enable continuous data processing with a zero latency engine
- Capture changes in data sources as they happen for processing and routing to multiple target applications
- Reliably support reading from and writing to various messaging systems such as JMS, MSMQ, TIBCO, webMethods Broker, and IBM WebSphere MQ
Reliable, Scalable Data Processing and Delivery
- Handle massive real-time data volumes by enabling horizontal scalability of message processing and delivery
- Prevent data loss and data duplication by ensuring real-time data integrity even in system failure scenarios
- Ensure referential data integrity for real-time change data streams with support for message ordering, exactly-once semantics, transactional consistency
Dynamic Partitioning with Data Smart Parallelism
- Divide data processing into subsets, which run in parallel and are spread among available CPUs in a multiprocessor system, for high performance and unlimited linear scalability
- Use visual controls for a wide range of partition schemes
Built-In Web Services Support
- Access data, metadata, and PowerCenter workflows within your service-oriented architecture through Web services protocols, including XML, WSDL, and SOAP
- Deliver data to consuming applications in the correct form, with the appropriate semantics, through the PowerCenter Web service hub
- Use a built-in WSDL editor and Web services testing tool to reduce delivery time
- Reduce administrative overhead with centralized monitoring and reporting capabilities
- Protect data services with built-in support for WS-Security
Dynamically Scalable Data Services
- Ensure that Web services deployments can automatically scale to support a large number of concurrent workloads typical of a shared services Integration Competency Center environment
- Deploy multiple Web service hubs for additional scalability
- Easily expose and reuse existing batch and real-time data transformation logic as Web services
- Dynamically scale concurrent, re-entrant data integration workflows across multiple hubs for enterprise-grade deployments
Process Orchestration and Human Workflow Capabilities
- Allow process-oriented data integration to support advanced data integration requirements
- Orchestrate data services with support for long-running processes and human interaction to design composite data services
- Enable zero-code business process modeling and easily validate and generate Web services and orchestrations with support for such leading Web services and business process orchestration standards as WS*, BPEL, and BPEL4People
