CONNX Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of simplified data
access management and integration software solutions,
announces the release of CONNX 10. This release features a
native Linux/UNIX implementation of the powerful CONNX SQL
Engine, enabling Web services and Java applications to
access enterprise data via a single server. Removing the
“data federation” server previously required in
mixed-platform environments reduces IT expenditures for the
enterprise by reducing the complexity of hardware and
software setup and deployment.
The CONNX SQL engine provides real-time and simultaneous
access to a wide array of relational and non-relational data
sources. The new CONNX Linux/UNIX SQL engine in Version 10
also includes a native JDBC server, which plugs in to the
CONNX pure-Java JDBC Driver. Companies that use Linux, AIX,
Solaris, or HP-UX as their primary operating system in the
back office can now deploy applications that store data on
an open system, on mainframes, and on Windows.
“CONNX 10 doubles our market opportunities with the newest
release of the CONNX SQL Engine, since it enables CONNX to
be deployed behind Web servers in Linux or UNIX environments
with no additional server hardware. Many of our existing
customers and development partners looking to standardize on
a single platform have asked for this, to make them more
competitive,” said Pat Malone, Vice-president of Sales and
Marketing at CONNX Solutions.
CONNX has been an essential tool for many years for companies
that want to preserve their investment in applications
relying on ODBC and JDBC access methods and legacy data. The
CONNX Solutions, Inc., technology has traditionally been
Windows-based, designed to function as a gateway to Java
data sources. Developers using CONNX have been able to
access and integrate legacy data with SQL-standards-based
technology, thereby extending the functionality of their
current Java applications and avoiding costly migrations.
CONNX Version 10 brings the developer the option to use a
Windows platform with Microsoft’s SQL Server 2005 or
Linux/UNIX platforms for access to legacy information.
“This release is another step forward in our strategy to
allow customers to choose the technology appropriate for
their business needs, without getting locked into a
particular vendor. Customers can now deploy applications on
UNIX servers, Windows servers, or on the mainframe, and can
use CONNX technology as the glue that ties all their
corporate data together seamlessly,” said Larry McGhaw, the
CTO at CONNX Solutions.
About CONNX Solutions
CONNX provides real-time access to all enterprise data as if it existed in one relational database. This technology has been referred to as Enterprise Information Integration or "EII". All data is then accessible using standard ANSI SQL and any standards-based application via OLE DB, ODBC, .NET, or JDBC drivers, and Linux- or UNIX-based operating systems.
