Talend, a start-up that makes open source data integration software, this week released an upgraded version of its product that triples the number of connectors, allows users to run data integration processes in Java, and expands the ability to execute high-volume data transformations.
Talend, based in the suburbs of Paris, France, and in Palo Alto, Calif., entered the data integration market with a product called Open Studio six months ago and released version 2.0 on Monday.
The company is targeting its product at small and midsize businesses that may not be willing to pay the prices charged by proprietary software vendors such as Informatica, Oracle or IBM.
An enterprise can expect to pay most data integration vendors anywhere from nearly $20,000 to $500,000 in initial costs for software licenses, and between $5,000 and $150,000 for annual licensing charges, according to a 2004 report by the Yankee Group.
There really isn’t much difference among data integration products, so companies looking to save money should feel safe going to an open source vendor, says Forrester analyst Michael Goulde. Talend isn’t the only option for open source data integration. Competitors include Apatar and KETL.
“Data integration is the kind of capability that open source lends itself well to,” Goulde says. “It’s not a highly differentiated offering. It’s sort of buried in the middleware, if you will.”
Open Studio itself is free. Talend charges support fees of $1,200 to $2,500 per user per year, company executives say.
Data integration products combine data sets from multiple systems so they can be shared and analyzed within a business.
Talend uses a distributed grid architecture to run processes closer to data sources, thereby decreasing network transfers and speeding up the integration, according to Yves de Montcheuil, the company’s vice president of marketing.
Talend Open Studio also offers a high-level non-technical view so end users can be involved in the data integration process and understand how it works, he says.
