Enterprise Information Integration (EII)

Solve typical pains associated with business integration, such as integrating customer data, speeding the development of portal applications, and aggregating information across and beyond the enterprise. Ultimately, with WebSphere II, companies can leverage their existing data and content assets in a business integration context.

Capabilities:

• Federation

Allows applications to access and integrate diverse data and content as if it were a single resource, regardless of where the information resides.




• Replication

Distributes, consolidates, and synchronizes information across complex, mulit-platform, multi-vendor IT environments.




• Enterprise Search

Finds the most relevant information from the plethora of enterprise information stored in file systems, content archives, databases, collaboration systems, and applications.




• Event Publishing

Captures database changes, formats them into XML messages, and publishes them for application integration.

WebSphere Information Server:  

• Federation

WebSphere Information Server federation capability allows applications to access and integrate diverse data distributed and mainframe, structured and unstructured, public and private as if it were a single resource, regardless of where the information resides. Business can speed time-to-market for new applications, get more value and insight from their existing assets and have more control over IT costs.




• Replication

WebSphere Information Server offers fast and flexible replication that helps administrators distribute, consolidate, and synchronize information across complex, multi-platform, multi-vendor IT environments. Replication is available in:




• Enterprise Search

WebSphere Information Server introduces enterprise search middleware for powering intranets, extranets, and public corporate websites. It introduces high quality, scalable, secure free-form textual search that finds the most relevant corporate information for employees, partners, and customers. These new capabilities are available in:




• Event Publishing

WebSphere Information Server makes it easy to link data events with business processes. It complements and extends client investments in service oriented architecture, enterprise application integration, and extract-transform-load infrastructure by eliminating the hand coding typically required to detect data changes and removing the extra overhead from the transaction itself. It captures changes in databases by reading the recovery log, formats the changes into XML messages, and publishes them to WebSphere MQ. Thus the events are available to WebSphere Business Integration software or any JMS-aware application.
