LegacyLink™
LegacyLink™ enables direct, real-time access to your legacy data
The term ‘legacy’ is usually synonymous with ‘difficult to access’. This is because
legacy systems aren’t built on modern standards and are, therefore, hard to access with modern tools.
Arbutus LegacyLink changes this! Arbutus LegacyLink™ is
middleware that easily links your Windows, server and
web applications to virtually any legacy data, regardless of
complexity.
LegacyLink™ marries an ODBC 3.5 driver with the data access and definition capabilities of the Arbutus
technology. This enables data that Arbutus Servers can access to be exposed as a virtual RDBMS. Not only can you
access the data, but you can execute any SQL query your software supports, without any additional infrastructure.
Any application that can read ODBC can now directly access and integrate your legacy data. This includes
applications for data mining, business intelligence or standard analysis and reporting.
Features include:
- Supports direct SQL access to most
legacy data sources
- Familiar windows tools can directly
access even complex legacy from mainframe
and AS/400 sources
- LegacyLink™ can supply legacy
data to applications hosted on the
web, server and desktop
- Your data is secure, as LegacyLink™
provides strictly “read only” access
- LegacyLink™ accesses the original
data file, in place, without any
requirement for data preparation,
conversion, or staging
- Easy data staging is also possible,
if you want, without the need for
data conversion or preparation
- IT professionals can treat legacy
data as if it were already loaded
into a RDBMS allowing greater flexibility
in managing legacy data access,
integration or migration requirements
- Advanced
data processing and definition
capabilities extend the value that
can be realized from the legacy
data sources
LegacyLink™ automatically uses the data definitions you create
with Analyzer,
and has full access to its capabilities.
