The new SaaS-based connection management service is a key step in the company\u2019s mission to help organizations create, run and connect to the world\u2019s best business applications. The cloud connectivity service enables simplified SQL access to a broad spectrum of cloud-based data sources through a single standards-based interface. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cloud is reshaping the way organizations build and deploy software and enabling the next generation of ISVs and applications to be built in less time, at less cost, all the while increasing application scalability and resilience. With the acknowledged value of cloud, there\u2019s been an explosion of new data sources in the cloud such as SaaS CRM, Social Network Feeds, and SaaS ERP. Organizations seeking to unlock the data in these sources need an easy way to connect to them. Point-to-point connectivity might be available through a proprietary web service, but creating unique access calls that conform to multiple APIs is unwieldy and complex. The multitude of different API\u2019s as well as their various versions is making applications too complex to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>Connectivity-as-a-Service provides standards-based SQL access to cloud data without requiring customized interfaces or new libraries to learn. It executes the SQL query against the appropriate cloud data source, managing all of the complexity, API\u2019s, and versioning itself so that the application does not have to.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-13245\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The DataDirect Cloud offering provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">A single ODBC and JDBC driver based on the DataDirect premium driver<br \/>\ntechnology that plugs into almost any 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party application<br \/>\nsuite (i.e., Business Intelligence, Enterprise Service Bus, Business<br \/>\nProcess Management Suites, Data Integration ETL, Java EE)<\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Real-time SQL access to a broad spectrum of data sources through a<br \/>\nconnectivity management service that resides in the cloud<\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Web based query development tools that allow interaction with SaaS<br \/>\ndata without any on-premise software required<\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Elastic scalability suitable for the most demanding data access needs<\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Specifically for ISVs, the ability to distribute the DataDirect Cloud<br \/>\nOEM driver \u201cin the box\u201d and support a broad array of data sources that<br \/>\nwill be updated and expanded regularly without having to redeploy to<br \/>\non premise installations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?x-id=d68004ce-a567-4319-b51b-c591df9d8c80\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/z0KIQEa6fOttOjetj1kC0XanwvQ\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/z0KIQEa6fOttOjetj1kC0XanwvQ\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/z0KIQEa6fOttOjetj1kC0XanwvQ\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/z0KIQEa6fOttOjetj1kC0XanwvQ\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/CloudNewsDaily\/~4\/B-SiUBVi5RQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beta Program Will Enable Simplified Access to Multiple Cloud-based Data        Sources     BEDFORD, Mass.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;Progress        Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS), a global software company that        simplifies and enables the d&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1195,1196,1136,49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-datadirect","category-enterprise-service-bus","category-progress","category-tools"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4492\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
