Attunity Web Services Standardizes Legacy Integration
Monday September 22, 11:17 am ET
The Attunity Web Service Gateway is Now Generally Available
WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 2003--Attunity Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU -
News), a leading provider of standards-based integration middleware for
accessing mainframe, enterprise data sources and legacy applications, today
announced the general availability of the Attunity Web Services Gateway, a
powerful solution to easily expose legacy applications as reusable and standard
Web Services.
The Attunity Web Services Gateway provides simple definition and seamless
deployment of legacy functions as standard Web Services. The Web Services
Gateway is an integrated component of the Attunity Connect product family and
works with all the Attunity Adapters to provide a single, unified solution.
Features and benefits of the Attunity Web Services Gateway include:
o Automatic Web Service Generation. The Attunity solution simplifies the
generation of Web services by providing a Web Services Deployment Wizard
that automatically deploys Attunity adapters into the Web Service
Gateway. The Wizard leverages the Attunity adapter XML-based metadata,
and generated standard Web services with no coding required.
o Prebuilt Adapters to Legacy Systems. Built on the Attunity Adapter
Framework, the Gateway works seamlessly with all Attunity Connect
adapters, offering a single solution for any legacy system including IBM
Mainframe (CICS, IMS/TM, IMS/DB, Adabas, DB2, Cobol), IBM iSeries (RPG,
DB400), HP NonStop (Pathway, Enscribe, SQL/MP), OpenVMS (RMS, Oracle
Rdb, DBMS), Unix and Windows (Tuxedo, Adabas, ISAM, and any RDBMS).
o SOAP, WSDL and UDDI Standards. The Web Services Gateway is based on the
standards underlying the Web services architecture, including XML
(eXtensible Markup Language), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), WSDL
(Web Services Definition Language) and UDDI (Universal Description,
Discovery and Integration of Web services). Legacy functions are defined
as standard Web services with WSDL definition, can be activated using
standard SOAP messages and exchange XML based data. The services can be
registered in any UDDI registry for look-up and discovery.
o Simplify Federated Data Access. Attunity provides a powerful capability
to expose any corporate data through a federated data model,
transparently mapping the request to one or more actual databases while
maintaining data integrity. Coupled with Web Services standard
interfaces, Attunity reduces the complexity for new application
development and integration.
o Complete Life-Cycle Management for Web Services Integration. The
Attunity Studio is an integrated toolset for managing the life cycle of
all Attunity adapters, from metadata import, to configuration, to
deployment and runtime management. The Web Services Gateway plugs-in to
this integrated GUI, providing a unified user experience and increased
productivity.
"The Attunity Web Services Gateway significantly reduces the cost and complexity
of legacy systems interoperability," said Dan Potter, vice president of
marketing at Attunity. "Our comprehensive adapter library, together with our new
ability to generate Web services with a few simple mouse clicks, enables
enterprises to begin to enjoy the benefits of Web services with minimum
investment and risk."

Connect product family, contact Attunity at info@attunity.com or visit the
