Data Federation streamlines integration of data from many distributed sources while providing access to integrated views of your enterprise data.
The Data Federation component:
Enables a single, federated virtual view of your enterprise data across multiple and diverse data stores such as databases, applications, or files. A “federated” approach indicates that data is delivered from original sources, rather than from data replicas or data marts
Provides transparent access to your most current data, regardless of its location
Enables you to create flexible, scalable, and efficient solutions to integrate and deliver data from diverse distributed sources to key enterprise applications
Sybase Data Federation includes Data Federation servers that provide the Enterprise Information Integration (EII) capabilities and tooling. Data Federation servers are installed with the Data Integration Suite installer while tooling is installed with Sybase WorkSpace.
