Applications created in 2012 using traditional
architecture models will be an IT-constraining
legacy by 2016
The leading business applications of 2016
are designed today using Nexus-enabled
application architecture principles
Changing Perspectives on Data
• It is no longer sufficient to view
information “after the fact”.
• Business demands information sooner,
with more accuracy, in order to meet
competitive and regulatory demands.
• Business needs to respond to “threats”
and “opportunities sooner.
• Reduce decision latency.
• Proactive Alerts and Notifications

Event Driven Architecture
• An architecture in which the activity is driven by changes
in state within an environment.
• Events drive the execution of logic.

17
• Event-enable and collect events from underlying systems
and applications.
• Data Replication
• PowerExchange/PowerCenter
• Transform events to normalized format for downstream
processing.
• B2B Data Transformation
• Enrich events as needed.

Event Transport
18
• Deliver transformed events to downstream applications,
systems, and event processors.
• Ultra Messaging
• Dynamic Routing
• Parallel Persistence
• Guarantees delivery, and decouples event producers from
event consumers.
Real Time Delivery
Event Rules and Delivery
19
• Processes events, applies user/business defined rules,
and generates responses.
• RulePoint
• Rules may be applied across events and over time/space.
• Alerts/notifications may be sent to BI environments, web
applications, etc.

Architecture
• Shift to modeling events as enterprise assets. Incorporate
the processing of immediate, individual events.
• Deliver quality data as it is needed by the business.
• Complement existing SOA strategies with event
driven applications.
• Move to a single environment that supports different
integration delivery models.
• Shift from centralized, database-centric client-server
applications to distributed systems.
• Deploy infrastructure that can support data delivery over
different latencies.
Summary
• Augment traditional integration solutions with real-time
data integration to:
• Reduce decision latency.
• Improve decision making and responsiveness.
• Increase visibility.
• Build upon the principles of SOA and an event-driven
architecture (EDA).
• Informatica provides the capabilities for adding real-time
data integration to your environment.

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Growth and acquisitions often result in a series of “siloed” applications. As more data is needed, it is pulled from other sources via additional interfaces, extracts, and batch processes.
  • #15 One Approach, One Platform for Application Data Exchanges. In-Process Data Certification. Supports any style of integration. Batch/Bulk orientation (File, RDBMS, Applications) Message orientation (JMS and other MOM) Service Orientation (Web Services) Manage any hand shake pattern. Point 2 Point, Pub/Sub, Request/Response, Event based, Push, Pull, Any integration latency. Batch, Near RT and RT Any format/conversion. Proprietary, native, industry standards. Office Documents Administration. End to end Traceability Error management Declarative configuration
