Syncsort Delivers Extreme Data Integration with DMExpress 6

New Release Enables Organizations to Unlock Business Value from Their Data to Dramatically Improve Bottom Line Results and Transform Decision Making

KENT, England, May 24, 2010 -

    News Facts
    - Syncsort, a global leader in extreme performance data integration and
      data protection software, today announced DMExpress 6, the fastest and
      most resource efficient data integration software available for
      organizations experiencing exploding data volumes and reduced
      processing windows.
    - Today's organizations need to make fast, accurate and insightful
      decisions in increasingly complex business situations. As a result,
      organizations are putting significantly more pressure on their IT
      departments to deliver low latency information from data.
    - DMExpress is extreme performance data integration software that
      empowers organizations to significantly reduce operating costs by
      rapidly and effectively delivering information from massive and complex
      data sets in minimal elapsed time, with minimal resource utilization,
      and on commodity hardware.
    - DMExpress often complements and accelerates existing data integration
      platform architectures to enable increased revenue streams and
      eliminate revenue loss caused by performance bottlenecks. In addition
      to helping businesses extract greater value from their investments in
      existing technology, it helps them more efficiently transform,
      integrate, and move data without the need for costly custom coding.

    Extreme Performance and Interoperability in DMExpress 6
    - Extreme Performance - DMExpress 6 features innovations for target file
      data compression that accelerate performance by reducing I/O and disk
      space requirements to shorten elapsed times and minimize resource
      utilization. New automation capabilities for job checkpoint and
      restart, and for event-based scheduling improve the efficiency of
      workflow processing. Support for Teradata's pushdown optimization and
      load customization capabilities has been added to leverage Teradata's
      capacity and ensure that the best Teradata load utility is used for a
      given job to speed warehouse loading.
    - Interoperability - DMExpress integrates seamlessly with all major data
      integration platforms from other vendors to eliminate performance
      bottlenecks, reducing elapsed time and resource requirements. The
      addition of metadata features for target layout export and run-time
      statistics in DMExpress 6 further enhances DMExpress' ability to
      interoperate with customers' existing data integration platforms. New
      layout export tools enable customers to exchange metadata target
      layouts with their existing data integration and metadata management
      tools. Run-time statistics also facilitate interoperability by
      publishing these statistics as an XML document.
    - Enhancements to Support Business Solutions - The DMExpress clickstream
      data integration solution has been significantly enhanced in the new
      release with advanced text processing and other functions. With these
      new features, web logs and page tag data files can now be parsed
      entirely within DMExpress, and challenging clickstream data
      transformations such as URL decoding and multi-character delimiting can
      be easily performed.

    Rethink the Economics of Data with Extreme Performance Data Integration
    Software
    - World Record Data Integration Performance - DMExpress is the only data
      integration solution to break the 1 GB per second barrier. In an
      independently audited benchmark, DMExpress extracted, transformed, and
      loaded 5.65 TB of raw TPC-H data at a rate of 1.6 GB per second on low-
      cost commodity servers. This was 13 times more cost-effective than the
      previous world record.
    - Speed and Efficiency Add Value to the Bottom Line - DMExpress' extreme
      performance provides organizations with a competitive advantage by
      enabling new business offerings that increase revenue streams, by
      leveraging more value from existing investments, and by reducing
      operating costs. DMExpress also delivers cost-effective high
      scalability for integrating data economically as volumes continue to
      grow exponentially.
    - More Insightful Decision Making - DMExpress enables complex data
      integration initiatives that support business intelligence, web
      analytics, database marketing, and other mission-critical decision
      making processes across all major industries.
    - Ease of Deployment and Use - DMExpress is uniquely designed for simple
      insertion into and interoperability with any existing job flow to
      accelerate data integration. It easily replaces high-maintenance custom
      code and features a graphical, metadata-driven development environment.
