Versant Extends Big Data Management Capabilities With Spring Compatibility
June 18 2012 - 1:47PM
QCon New York 2012 Conference -- Versant
Corporation (Nasdaq:VSNT), a worldwide leader in developing data
management software infrastructure for complex, mission-critical
applications, announced today that its Java Persistence API (JPA)
is now compatible with Spring, the most popular application
development framework for enterprise Java. This pairing furthers
the company's strategy of lowering barriers frequently presented by
NoSQL adoption, allowing Java enterprise developers to more easily
manage the volume, variety and velocity of Big Data with existing,
standards-based coding skills.
Versant's JPA eliminates common obstacles to NoSQL adoption,
such as learning proprietary APIs, by making Versant's NoSQL
scale-out topology available to all developers versed in JPA and
the Java programming language. With this latest enhancement, the
company is furthering this mission by making Versant JPA compatible
with the Spring framework. By integrating with the Spring Framework
to code for Versant JPA, developers benefit in many ways, such as
by being able to leverage code examples and object data management
concepts.
"The data landscape is changing so much that developers who
don't keep up with the most appropriate technologies for their
business' needs risk getting swallowed by Big Data," said Vishal
Bagga, Product Manager, Versant Corporation. "The marriage of
Spring with Versant's JPA provides an easy solution for those who'd
like to make the switch to a NoSQL database without giving up the
de facto Java persistence standard JPA. With Spring, developers can
leverage their pre-existing knowledge of the application to deal
with code complexity and plug in Versant's JPA for seamless object
data management in a NoSQL store – allowing for faster adoption of
NoSQL technology and, ultimately, more powerful data-driven
applications."
This compatibility provides developers with a consistent
approach to managing their data, adding significant benefits. For
instance, Spring's Inversion of Control (IoC) approach to coding
enables faster and simpler swapping of mapped object
implementations for easier persistence-related code testing in
isolation. Further, Spring application contexts can handle the
location and configuration of JPA Entity Manager Factory instances,
making these values easy to manage and change while offering
efficient, easy and secure handling of persistence resources.
"To better handle the scale and complexity presented by Big
Data, many developers are looking for an alternative to SQL-based
relational data management systems, but would prefer to use their
current skills to make the transition faster and smoother," added
Versant's Bagga. "By integrating the Spring Framework with
Versant's JPA, a developer doesn't need to learn anything major in
order to get started using NoSQL technology, and can start
realizing benefits immediately."
