Red Hat Launches Teiid Open Source Data Integration Project

Red Hat, a provider of open source solutions, announced the official launch of the Teiid data virtualization system project in the JBoss.org Community.

Teiid marks the first open source community project that aims to deliver Enterprise Information Integration (EII) with both relational and XML data virtualization. The Teiid project joins other Red Hat-sponsored open source virtualization projects, including the oVirt.org project.

"When Red Hat acquired MetaMatrix in April 2007, we committed to releasing the data services technology in the open source community and Teiid is the result of that promise," said Craig Muzilla, VP of Red Hat's middleware business. "The demand for applications and services leveraging the data stores of a typical organization never ends. But now, enterprises have a choice between expensive, proprietary data services and an enterprise-class open source platform at a fraction of the cost."

Teiid said it will provide the foundation for future versions of the JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform, which is available via subscription that includes 24x7 support, patches and updates, a multi-year maintenance policy and software assurance from Red Hat.
