BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, October 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Attunity, Ltd. (OTC BB: ATTUF.OB), a leading provider of real-time event capture and data integration software, announced today that its high-speed connectors for Oracle and Teradata are available as part of Microsoft's SQL Server 2008 Integration Services. Provided at no additional cost to SQL Server 2008 Enterprise customers, the connectors deliver an integrated method of moving data in and out of Oracle and Teradata - via Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS).

In recent internal testing of these connectors, records were delivered at unprecedented performance levels, with rates of up to ten times that of standard OLE-DB and a nearly one hundred times that of existing Teradata connectors. Microsoft's customers will benefit from what are believed to be the fastest available connectors for bulk data transfer.

"Enterprise customers want end users across the organization to be able to make better, more timely business decisions. Microsoft's Business Intelligence offerings integrate well into the heterogeneous enterprise environment," said Tom Casey, general manager of SQL Server at Microsoft Corp. "The release of the new, higher performance connectors for Oracle and Teradata reflect that continued commitment and are a great enhancement to SQL Server Integration Services connectivity."

In addition to the connectors for Microsoft, Attunity provides standards-based adapters, connectors and change data capture technology for real-time access to relational and non-relational data sources and legacy applications. Supported data sources include Adabas, Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Oracle Rdb, RMS, Microsoft SQL Server, and even CODASYL DBMS and flat files running on a wide range of platforms including mainframe, HP NonStop, UNIX, AS400, OpenVMS and Windows.

"It's exciting to be collaborating with Microsoft and its enterprise data platform SQL Server 2008," said Shimon Alon, CEO of Attunity. "We have been working together to meet the data integration requirements of enterprise customers. The new connectors enable SQL Server customers to quickly and easily move data bi-directionally for data warehouses and application integration, which improves overall business operations."
