I am pleased to announce that Centerprise Data Integrator 5 beta is now available for download. This release represents a major upgrade and adds sophisticated dataflow and workflow designers. We are very excited about this release and the great deal of value it can add to our customers’ business.
Centerprise 5 represents an attractive alternative to exorbitant cost of traditional data integration vendors and not-ready-for-primetime products offered at the lower end of the market.
Over the past year, we have had extensive discussions with customers from a variety of industries including financial services, pharmaceutical, healthcare, utilities, and government. Centerprise team used this feedback and other research to develop and improve product from many perspectives. Usability, always a hallmark of Centerprise, has been improved further with the addition of flow designers that provide drag and drop capabilities, unlimited undo/redo, cut/copy/paste, and parameterization, among others. Performance has been enhanced by further increasing parallelism and optimizing a number of areas including database writes and file reads. A new set of APIs enables customers and partners to extend Centerprise by adding new sources, destinations, transformations, and custom functions.
Here are the key features:
- A Dataflow designer that supports complex data integration flows and features full complement of transformations including lookups, expressions, functions, aggregate, sort, join, normalize, denormalize, union, route, filter, and others.
- Subflows to create reusable dataflow components that can be plugged into dataflows or other subflows.
- Single-click WYSIWYG data view capability to preview data at any stage in data flow.
- Integrated data quality validation and profiling.
- Integrated drag and drop environment with unlimited undo/redo, cut/copy/paste, automatic layout building, auto map creation, one click element addition, and more.
- A visual Workflow designer for defining job orchestration. Workflow designer provides the functionality to define job sequence, routing, and dependencies.
- Restart capability to resume a job from the point of failure.
- Workflow provides built-in tasks to run Dataflow, Workflow, SQL, or other programs, perform file systems actions, FTP actions, send mail, and others. Additional tasks can be created using Centerprise APIs.
- Built-in job scheduler to start jobs at recurring intervals including hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. Jobs can also be triggered based on file drop and through APIs.
- High-performance parallel processing engine optimized to deliver the performance and scalability required to efficiently process very high data volumes.
