(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud integration provider Dell Boomi (www.boomi.com) announced on Tuesday that it has launched the newest version of its cloud integration technology, AtomSphere Spring 11. This version includes new capabilities for middleware connectivity, large-scale data management and migration and remote integration monitoring, according to the press release.
Dell acquired software as a service cloud integration provider Boomi in November 2010 to enable businesses to benefit from cloud computing.
“Enterprises are looking to quickly take advantage of the flexibility, innovation and efficiency of the cloud without sacrificing the investments they’ve already made in on-premise applications and middleware,” Rick Nucci, founder and CTO of Dell Boomi said in a statement. “Customers want to integrate the new with the old, reaping the benefits of the cloud without having to rip and replace what they already have. The new features in AtomSphere Spring 11 were designed with mid- to large-size businesses in mind to simplify their path to the cloud.”
Dell Boomi says AtomSphere is one of the first cloud integration platforms to provide Change Data Capture, “designed to reduce the size of data sets processed by focusing on only changed data.” The company says the automated process requires no coding and improves data transit between on-site and cloud environments.
AtomSphere Spring 11 can support terabyte-sized files, according to the press release. With salesforce.com (www.salesforce.com) integration, this version calculates the optimal batch size to send to salesforce.com, “dramatically simplifying customers’ ability to move important data between applications and salesforce.com.”
“Organizations of all sizes implementing SaaS applications or cloud services require integration services to connect what’s running on-premise with what’s running in the cloud,” Dennis Callaghan, senior enterprise software analyst at The 451 Group said in a statement. “Much of the early usage of these cloud integration technologies was around connecting Salesforce.com with internal applications. While that remains an important use case, we’re seeing increasing demand for connecting other SaaS applications with internal applications or each other. Meanwhile, larger enterprises that have already made significant investments in middleware need cloud integration services that extend and enhance that legacy middleware, protecting their valuable IT investments.”
Dell Boomi also announced that it now offers a partner certification program.
Existing AtomSphere customers have immediate access to these new features. Dell Boomi says new customers can have access to AtomSphere starting at $550 a month.
At the beginning of April, Dell unveiled plans to invest $1 billion in 2011 to deliver solutions to launch and sell cloud services.
