HPE Shadowbase Streams for Data and Application Integration

Powerful and Flexible Facilities to Integrate Existing Applications and Databases

Use HPE Shadowbase Streams to:

• replicate (or “data ingestion”) between diverse applications at the event-driven level (called application integration*), and
• replicate (or “data ingestion”) between diverse databases to share and access data at the data level (called data integration*).

*Note: There are several different integration combinations. Basically, database integration is more common than application integration, but by purchasing HPE Shadowbase Streams, a user can perform both.

Applications

Integrate existing applications and services in real-time

“Use real data [and] real applications to find real problems early.”

– Credit Union Application Developer

Use Shadowbase Streams for applications that:

• are isolated, legacy, or “stale,”
• cannot be directly modified,
• were never intended or designed to work together,
• and when the original application developers are unavailable or have left the company.

HPE Shadowbase Streams for Application Integration

Streamline events across applications, creating a data pipeline from a data pump

While a source application generates changes and events, Shadowbase Streams immediately distributes them across an enterprise. This powerful architecture allows an application to simply utilize the events that are delivered by Shadowbase Streams.

Rapidly create new value-add business functionality and services that were not possible before integration without modifying existing application code

HPE Shadowbase Streams modernizes legacy applications and databases by enabling the creation of new and valuable business services to enhance competitiveness, reduce costs or increase revenue, and satisfy regulatory requirements.

Many benefits

• Create a local copy of data updates from a source application
• Enhance competitiveness
• Expand existing functionality
• Generally, improve the user experience
• Help satisfy regulatory requirements
• Improve end-user response times
• Increase revenue
• Rapidly generate new and valuable services
• Reduce costs

Examples

• Real-time fraud detection
• Real-time business intelligence
• Real-time operating system integration

Databases

Integrate existing database environments in real-time

Use Shadowbase Streams for databases to:

• rapidly deliver (or ingest) information where and when it is needed,
• in a required format, and
• distribute (or ingest) updated information in real-time throughout an enterprise.

Change data capture

With data integration, Shadowbase Streams uses change data capture (CDC) technology to capture change data and create a real-time copy of selected data from a source system’s database to a target system’s database.

Examples

• Feed data warehouses
• Populate data marts
• Build online query processing systems (OLQP) to offload reporting from the host
• Create localized data sets for distributed applications
