Enables DIRECT, REAL-TIME ACCESS To Your Legacy & Server 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 LegacyLinkT 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.
