Data Announces XML-Centric Asset Tracking Application Suite
and RFID Data Management Server
IRVINE,
CA. - May 1, 2006
- Sun Microsystems
Partners with Raining Data to Include its Asset Tracking Application
Suite and RFID Data Management Server in Sun’s RFID Industry
Solution for Physical Asset Tracking
Raining
Data Corporation (NASDAQ: RDTA), a leading data management software
company that enables agile and real-time business solutions,
announced today its Asset Tracking Application Suite and RFID
Data Management Server powered by TigerLogic® XDMS – a flexible,
XML-centric technology platform that provides easy interoperability
and data linking for advanced business intelligence and change
management.
This comprehensive
Asset Tracking Solution can be used to track, within or across
enterprises, any type of asset including people, parts, computers,
industrial equipment, reusable transport items, vehicles, inventory,
hazardous materials, munitions, media and documents. Raining
Data’s Asset Tracking Solution supports industry-specific requirements
including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, transportation and logistics,
documents and media, banking and finance and can be deployed
in either barcode and/or RFID-enabled environments.
The
Raining Data Difference
There are many asset tracking solutions currently available
on the market and these relational-centric systems have limitations,
which include rigid data models, inflexible business processes
and brittle deployment architectures. The Raining Data Asset
Tracking Application Suite is a flexible and interoperable,
XML-centric and SOA-centric application that addresses these
limitations by offering real-time flexible data, customizable
business processes, and dynamic composite applications that
support a wide variety of barcode, RFID and sensor data to track
assets. This comprehensive Asset Tracking Solution can plug
into and interoperate with existing EAI, database and security
infrastructures within the enterprises. In addition, the Raining
Data Asset Tracking Application Suite offers lower Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO) than relational-centric based solutions due
to:
- Less
Server Hardware Required than Relational-Centric Systems
- Fewer
Processor Database Licenses than Relational-Centric Systems
- Faster
Implementation – Quicker and Easier Installation
- Less
Programming and Testing Time (i.e. Cost) to Respond to Changing
of Business Needs
Sun
Microsystems and Raining Data Products Partnership
Sun Microsystems, a leading provider of enterprise information
technologies, has chosen to jointly market and integrate with
Raining Data’s technologies to help meet its customer’s needs.
The combination of Sun Microsystems’ Java Composite Application
Platform Suite, Java System RFID Software, Java Identity Management
Suite and Registry with Raining Data’s TigerLogic RFID Data
Management Server provides the total infrastructure to provide
enterprises with a comprehensive, flexible and interoperable
solution that enables real-time visibility and tracking of assets.
In addition, the Java Composite Application Platform Suite extends
the Raining Data Asset Tracking Application Suite by providing
enterprises with an advanced toolset and platform to develop
custom composite applications that leverage barcode, RFID and
sensor data.
“Raining
Data has enabled us to quickly offer a comprehensive asset tracking
solution that empowers our customers to improve asset utilization,
reduce errors, and achieve regulatory compliance. Furthermore,
the solution allows enterprises to integrate RFID data with
their business processes and applications using the Sun Java
Composite Application Platform Suite,” said Vivek Khandelwal,
Principal RFID Solutions Manager, Sun Microsystems.
Raining
Data will demonstrate its Asset Tracking Application Suite and
RFID Data Management Server as part of the Sun RFID Industry
Solution for Physical Asset Tracking at RFID Journal Live, May
1-3, 2006, Las Vegas, NV and at Sun‘s Horizons 2006 – SOA &
Composite Applications Summit – May 16-18, 2006, San Francisco,
