Composite Software Adds Support for RainStor's Big Data Management Database

Combined solution provides retention and compliant access to large volumes
of data across the enterprise

San Francisco and San Mateo, CA, January 18, 2012 — Composite Software and
RainStor today announced that Composite has added access to RainStor’s Big
Data management database, growing the list of popular enterprise
applications it supports including Oracle, SAP, and salesforce.com as well
as relational and multi-dimensional data sources from IBM, IBM Netezza,
Microsoft, Oracle, SAP BW, SAP Sybase and Teradata.

RainStor is used as a primary database to ingest, retain and manage high
volumes of multi-structured data such as logs, call data, financial service
transactions, smart meter data and other forms of automated
machine-generated data. RainStor also announced today a new product edition
that runs natively on Hadoop providing query and analytics through both SQL
and MapReduce. RainStor is also used as a secondary database for holding
historical data from retired applications as well as enterprise data
warehouses such as Teradata.

In all of these scenarios, Composite allows the data retained within
RainStor to be easily combined with other enterprise data scattered
throughout the organization. The Composite Data Virtualization Platform™
includes high-performance query middleware and complementary offerings that
integrate data from multiple, disparate sources - anywhere across the
extended enterprise - in a unified, logically virtualized manner for
on-demand consumption by a wide range of front-end business solutions.

“The combination of the two technologies provides a cost effective and high
performance way to retain and access data on demand without the need to
create multiple copies and deal with the complexities of moving data between
environments,” said Claudia Imhoff, president of Intelligent Solutions,
Inc., a leading authority on BI and data warehousing.

“RainStor allows enterprises to retain Big Data for compliance and
historical business analysis,” said RainStor VP Product Management Ramon
Chen. “We are often asked for the best way to combine the data stored in
RainStor with information from its originating source or across other
related content. We are delighted to partner with Composite Software to
offer this capability as they represent the gold standard for data
virtualization.”
According to Peter Tran, Composite Software vice president of product
marketing, “To maintain our success as the market’s leading enterprise data
virtualization solution, we must continuously add the latest, most
innovative data sources. RainStor’s compelling economics for Big Data
management and our joint philosophy of simplicity in enterprise data access
makes our products a natural fit.”
