SnapLogic updates data integration framework


By Robert Mullins
May 1, 2008 — 
Trying to integrate data from multiple sources into a Web-delivered application is complicated, prompting developers to look for ways to simplify the process. SnapLogic is touting a new approach it believes will help tackle this problem.

SnapLogic is promoting a concept called “Real Simple Integration”—a play on RSS, or Real Simple Syndication—in a 2.0 upgrade of its data integration framework, including its first commercial product and support subscription options, that launched April 23.

SnapLogic’s framework pulls data from SaaS applications, SOA Web services and other common databases, to create enterprise mashups and rich Internet applications for business use, said Chris Marino, SnapLogic’s CEO.

Businesses have wanted to repurpose data for a Web page, but found the extract, transform and reload process onerous, Marino said. “People would devote very precious time and effort to building hand-coded, point-to-point program integration.”

SnapLogic leverages the representational state transfer architecture style to transform data for the Web, Marino explained. With it, knowledge workers can use such familiar tools as Google Search, Microsoft Excel and various Web browsers to find, transform and post that data.

SnapLogic is being used by KQED, a National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting System affiliate in San Francisco. KQED has had difficulty delivering the programs it has broadcast on TV and radio to its online audience, said Tim Olson, executive director of KQED Interactive, the stations’ online branch.

“We have a whole database [of] video or audio files, and getting that from the database system and onto a public-facing Web site is a major challenge,” Olson said.

KQED-FM is using SnapLogic to take radio programs stored in their database and convert them into MP3 files, then deliver them as podcasts online, he explained. For now, KQED is only using SnapLogic to repurpose radio shows, not TV.

SnapLogic offers an open-source version, SnapLogic Community Edition 2.0, which is licensed under the GPLv2. SnapLogic Professional Edition 2.0, the commercial version, comes with two subscription options: The Developer Subscription includes six licenses, technical support and training for three developers for US$9,000 per year; an Enterprise Subscription includes 25 licenses and support starting at $25,000 a year.
