Oracle launched on Monday Oracle Data Integration Suite, which combines traditional data integration capabilities with an array of middleware and tooling for constructing a service oriented architecture.Data Integration Suite costs $60,000 per CPU for a package that bundles Oracle Data Integrator and Oracle/Hyperion Data Relationship Manager with the company's BPEL Process Manager, enterprise service bus, application server, business-to-business engine, and business rules engine, according to a statement."This is really Oracle attempting to go a long way toward providing a credible alternative to IBM Information Server," said James Kobielus, an analyst with Forrester Research. IBM released Information Server in October 2006; the product sits at the center of the company's Information on Demand Strategy.In turn, Oracle's suite aligns its data-integration offerings with its Fusion Middleware line for SOA.Additional options in the suite include a new pair of data quality tools, Oracle Data Quality for Data Integrator and Oracle Data Profiling, which the company developed with Harte-Hanks Trillium Software."Finally, Oracle now has best-of-breed data quality tools," Kobielus said.Also, Oracle is optionally offering its Coherence Data Grid, technology acquired through Oracle's purchase of Tangosol last year, and a number of adapters, including ones for applications and unstructured content, as options.The company did not provide pricing information for the optional items.Overall, the suite reflects the further integration of two key Oracle acquisitions, Sunopsis and Hyperion, into the company's core Fusion Middleware lineup, according to Kobielus. "There's a lot of Sunopsis and Hyperion DNA in this," he said.Oracle bought Sunopsis, maker of an ELT (extract, load, transform) tool in October 2006. The company plunked down $3.3 billion in March 2007 for Hyperion, which had a master data management product among its offerings.IBM, Oracle, and SAP are now the main industry contenders in terms of a truly broad data-integration suite, according to Kobielus. Other large enterprise stack vendors, such as Red Hat or Sun, might be wise to make some acquisitions in this space, he added.Marketing materials announcing the Oracle's release stress the suite's applicability to heterogenous environments, noting its support for a broad array of databases, including IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Teradata, and Oracle.This is telling, right down to Oracle's positioning of its own database at the end of that list, Kobielus said. "IBM is also strongly heterogeneous," he noted.

(InfoWorld) - Oracle's lawsuit against rival SAP will move finally to trial on February 9, 2009 -- almost two years after the suit was initially filed, SAP said Tuesday. After a case management conference with the two sides that had been postponed from September 4, Judge Martin Jenkins of the Northern District Court in San Francisco set the date for the four-week trial, along with a deadline for motions of November 13, 2008. A further case management conference will be held February 12, 2009. Jenkins is expected to issue a more detailed order, with limits on discovery and the possible use of mediation toÂ resolve the dispute, SAP said. In March,Â Oracle sued SAPÂ for illegally downloading customer support materials from an Oracle Web site, via its TomorrowNow subsidiary. SAP acquired TomorrowNow, which provides support for products from Oracle acquisitions PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards, in January 2005. TomorrowNow may use some materials from Oracle's Customer Connection Web site, but only for certain customers covered under particular agreements.Â SAP admittedÂ that TomorrowNow did make some "inappropriate" downloads, but maintains that the information was not passed to the parent company, nor did it approve such downloads. Both companies maintain Web sites relating to the case. Oracle's can be found here, and SAP's here. Oracle had not issued a statement on the case management conference at time of writing. Â
