Dell Boomi Summer 12 Adds Crowd-Powered Analytics

Dell Boomi is a cloud-based service that helps enterprises link their applications to data and other applications, for a monthly subscription. That fee is still considerably less than what an organization would have to spend to achieve the same end result via alternative routes.

This week the company announced that the Atomsphere 12 Summer edition is rolling out, bringing with it a host of new features. The most notable one among these is something called Assure, which leverages the crowdsourcing model and the goodwill of customers in hopes of improving the platform. It lets users submit their integration processes, and as a result provide valuable use studies that Boomi may take into account when developing future generations of the offering.

That’s not the only thing that has been added though. The Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) Worker is a custom atom that automates some of the tasks associated with data transfers, and a Hadoop connector is now available as well alongside a number of other tools. Among these is Join, which integrates multiple data sources, and the Bulk Copy at-scale copy-paster.

Last but not least, Boomi says that it made security management a bit more simplified than it was before.

“AtomSphere Summer 12 release addresses the concerns that IT leaders face when it comes to application and data integration,” said Rick Nucci, General Manager, Dell Boomi. “Summer 12 simplifies and improves integration processes, capitalizing on the efficiency offered by cloud computing. And the security enhancements also give IT teams further assurance that their data and IP is secure, whether moving through cloud or on-premise applications.”

The cloud is not the only field that Dell is growing in. Hyperscale computing is apparently one such area as well, as we’ve learned last month.
