To support your application solutions, you deploy a variety of technologies in your enterprise. Legacy systems, Microsoft- and Java-based technologies, and EAI or home-grown middleware all play a role in your IT infrastructure. You've started deploying applications based on SOA, Web services, Microsoft's .NET framework, and open source platforms. You also have a myriad of databases, such as Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and MySQL. But in order to reduce your development and deployment cost, improve risk and reward posture, and position your organization to better leverage new revenue opportunities, you must rationalize these various technologies.
See how you can take a best-practices approach to data connectivity in a heterogeneous environment. Rob Steward draws from his 12 years of experience working with databases and data connectivity standards to help you devise a methodology for data connectivity. Plus, Rob addresses the business implications and technical considerations relating to this approach by discussing data integration landscape, database connectivity, and design.
