March 23, 2011 by Robin Wauters Leave a Comment

Data virtualization company Queplix yesterday announced its new BladeShare Exchange Program, which enables partners or customers to build custom Application Software Blades for new third party and custom applications, and make them available to the worldwide Queplix customer community.

Queplix’s intelligent Application Software Blades perform automatic connections to target applications, reducing the time required to integrate applications by up to 75 percent or more.

The BladeShare Exchange Program aims to enable participants to develop new apps that can easily connect and virtualize into a Queplix configuration by enabling them with products like VirtualETL, CloudETL and Virtual Data Manager.

As a result, companies have a greater opportunity to leverage Queplix advanced data virtualization and NoSQL integration capabilities and dramatically speed up and reduce the cost of their integration projects.

Queplix Application Software Blades identify and extract key data and associated security information from many different target applications such as Salesforce, Google and others. The blades move physical data from the abstraction layer of the source application, to the Queplix persistent metadata catalog where the data is automatically harmonized with other systems.
