Informatica Brings Data Integration to the Cloud via Amazon EC2
ComputerWorld
Informatica Corp., one of the last of the standalone data integration software vendors, is bringing its on-premise enterprise software to Amazon.com's hosted service EC2.
PowerCenter Cloud Edition will have all of the features of version 8.6 of its standard flagship PowerCenter suite, said Girish Pancha, executive vice president and general manager of data integration.
Users will be able to buy the service, now in beta and due for release in September, via a standard license or via an hourly price of $24.95 an hour.
The service is aimed at data integration developers who are increasingly hosting data on Amazon.com's S3 data storage service, Pancha said. It may also help Informatica, which tends to sell to enterprises with large data integration needs, win smaller customers.
