      Database consolidation may have just got a little easier, according to officials at ANTs Software.

      Roughly a year after demonstrating the technology at the Independent Oracle Users Group Collaborate 2007 conference in Las Vegas, the company has launched Version 1.5 of ACS (ANTs Compatibility Server), middleware designed to reduce the time and effort required to consolidate disparate databases.

      The idea, company officials said, is to allow application code-queries, stored procedures and functions-from legacy databases to run natively and transparently against the new target database without requiring applications to be rewritten or recompiled. For now, the product enables organizations to re-host their Sybase database applications to an Oracle database with minimal to no application changes, according to company officials.

      The Sybase applications run natively on the ACS, which connects natively to the target Oracle database. The application operates as if it were still communicating with the original database, while the new Oracle database operates as if it were communicating with a native application.

      Current migration tools, such as OMWB (Oracle Migration Workbench), automate a portion of the migration but still require manual application rewriting, ANTs officials contend. Together, OMWB and the ANTs Compatibility Server provide a fully automated process-eliminating costly rewrites and accelerating the entire process while reducing cost, officials said.

      Due to the rising amount of data and costs of data management, database consolidation has become a top priority for many enterprises.

      “Oracle database consolidation with the ANTs Compatibility Server provides an excellent opportunity to reduce data management costs and execute projects with positive ROI,” said Cesar Rojas, senior director of marketing.

      “Customers save by using a migration method that is 50 to 75 percent less expensive than manual application rewrite and also save by moving to Oracle and fully leveraging an Oracle Enterprise License Agreement that eliminates operational redundancy and cost inefficiencies.”

      SQL Server and other databases are on the company’s engineering road map and will be announced in the future, Rojas said.
