COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--()--XAware, Inc., provider of the industry’s first comprehensive, real-time open source data integration solution, today announced it has become a Gold Partner in the MySQL Enterprise Connection Alliance program. MySQL AB is the developer of the world’s most popular open source database software – and offers MySQL Enterprise, a premium subscription offering for database developers and DBAs.

“XAware shares MySQL’s commitment to offering users open source freedom and trusted software with support”
With more than 100 million copies of its software having been downloaded or distributed in its history, MySQL has become a key component of the open source enterprise software stack known as LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP / Perl / Python). Organizations are increasingly turning to open source solutions as a better IT alternative than traditional proprietary software, which have earned a reputation for being expensive, difficult to use and incapable of providing significant reuse across projects.
“In addition to welcoming XAware as a Gold Partner, MySQL is proud to feature XAware as our Partner of the Month for November,” said Mark Burton, executive vice president of sales, channels and alliances, MySQL AB. “By bridging the gap between business processes and physical data access, XAware helps make it possible to build cost-effective data integration solutions using visually-driven tools.”
XAware uses XML to create a data services layer that provides consistent, real-time access to all data, regardless of the source. Recognized as the de-facto standard for transforming data, XML provides the most effective way of representing and manipulating business data. XAware makes it possible for companies to quickly and efficiently transform data into reusable SOA XML components.
XAware 5 open source data integration adds a variety of important XML capabilities to MySQL, including:
- Real-time access to MySQL data, which conforms to any XML Schema
- Expose MySQL data through XML as Web Services (SOAP or REST)
- Create data mashups by joining data from multiple relational and non-relational sources, and expose through web services
- Synchronize or exchange data between MySQL and any other enterprise data source or application
- High performance shredding of complex XML into MySQL tables or stored procedures
- Correlate and update data as if the data is stored in a federated database
- Manipulate, transform and enable multipurpose reuse of XML data objects
“XAware shares MySQL’s commitment to offering users open source freedom and trusted software with support,” said Tim Harvey, president and CEO of XAware. “While some open source offerings handle limited data integration tasks, such as ETL, XAware is the only open source product to give developers a comprehensive solution for succeeding with all their data integration projects. We invite developers around the world to download XAware and compare it to other data integration products. We are confident they’ll see that XAware’s unique ability to service-enable data sets a new standard for the data integration market.”
