BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 19 - Attunity Ltd., a leading provider of information availability software solutions, announced today the imminent release of an optimized data loading solution for Amazon Redshift, AWS’s new data warehouse in the cloud. Attunity’s offering is being designed to provide a high-speed, scalable and fully-managed solution designed to move data from enterprise databases into Amazon Redshift quickly, easily and affordably. The new Attunity solution is expected to be available for customer preview in March 2013.
Data warehousing has long been a critical enabler for business intelligence and growth, used by many enterprises to enable Big Data analytics. Amazon Redshift brings to market an innovative approach to data warehousing, leveraging cloud computing to enable significant reductions in the total costs of owning and operating a data warehouse. While organizations look to capitalize on these potential gains in agility and cost, they face the challenge of moving large amounts of information from their on-premises data centers into Amazon Redshift in the cloud. Attunity’s solution will be designed to simplify this process, leveraging high-performance database replication, ease of use, and high-speed data transfer technologies.
“Technology partners play an important role in the Amazon Redshift ecosystem and Attunity’s solution offers customers an efficient way to move their data into Amazon Redshift,” said Terry Wise, Head of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem at AWS. “The high performance and ease of use that Attunity’s solution will provide will make it even easier for our customers to realize the business and cost-saving benefits of Amazon Redshift.”
“Attunity is thrilled with the launch of Amazon Redshift, which can provide enterprises with the opportunity to significantly reduce the costs of data warehousing and derive competitive advantage from Big Data analytics,” said Itamar Ankorion, Vice President of Business Development and Corporate Strategy at Attunity. “Attunity’s solution is being uniquely architected for high-speed data loading from enterprise databases to Amazon Redshift, designed to alleviate the data transfer bottleneck, and accelerate time to value. We are focused on enabling customers to benefit from the economies of cloud computing.”

Researchers from the Suddhananda Engineering and Research Centre in Bhubaneswar, India developed a job scheduling system, which they call Service Level Agreement (SLA) scheduling, that is meant to achieve acceptable methods of resource provisioning similar to that of potential in-house systems. They combined that with an on-demand resource provisioner to ensure utilization optimization of virtual machines.
