ParAccel announced it has entered into an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with IBM. Under the terms of the agreement, ParAccel will embed IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture within the ParAccel Analytic Database, providing ParAccel customers with seamless and real-time updates from heterogeneous databases, including IBM DB2, Oracle, and Microsoft’s SQL Server. Customers can use this ability to create high performance operational data stores and tactical analytic applications such as operational BI. 

“By capturing and using information in real-time, companies can make better-informed business decisions, boost customer service and increase operational efficiencies,” said Robert D. Thomas, vice president, Business Development, IBM Information Management. “InfoSphere Change Data Capture will help support the Information on Demand initiatives of ParAccel’s customers by providing them with powerful heterogeneous data integration capabilities.” 

Real Time Data Replication
“InfoSphere Change Data Capture provides sophisticated real-time data replication capabilities such as native support for major databases and legacy platforms as well as two-way data synchronization, data transformation, and support for configurations with many database instances," said Philip Russom, senior manager of research and services with the Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI). “By embedding these real-time replication capabilities, ParAccel will provide its customers with the ability to better integrate their valuable information assets and further leverage that information via complex data analysis using the ParAccel Analytic Database,” Russom said.

“We are delighted to be working with IBM,” said ParAccel President and CEO David Ehrlich. “IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture will provide ParAccel customers with flexible, real time data replication capabilities. The combination of the ParAccel Analytic Database and InfoSphere Change Data Capture will create a powerful, low-latency analytic solution that is ideal for financial services, telecommunications, retail and other markets that are seeking to integrate disparate data sources into one computing environment for detailed analysis and improved decision-making,” Ehrlich said.   
 
The ParAccel Analytic Database
The ParAccel Analytic Database combines patent-pending innovations with a columnar, compressed, massively parallel, all-in-memory-capable architecture to yield gains over other database management systems in both performance and price-performance.         

The ParAccel Analytic Database is available as enterprise software or as a virtual or packaged appliance and runs on standard hardware such as IBM BladeCenter and IBM eServer System x. It installs and deploys quickly and can be implemented stand-alone in any environment or as a drop-in accelerator to add or extend analytic processing for an existing Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle platform. In addition, the ParAccel Analytic Database supports open standards such as ODBC, JDBC and ANSI SQL and works with the industry’s leading BI tools from vendors such as IBM Cognos. Built-in high availability features ensure high performance and continuous operation.
