Dell Boomi on Tuesday announced an improved cloud integration platform that helps organizations modernize, simplify and manage their changing IT environments. Dell Boomi AtomSphere Summer 12 expands application and data integration capabilities, enhances security and offers Boomi Assure, crowd-sourced regression testing. According to Rick Nucci, General Manager, Dell Boomi, "AtomSphere Summer 12 release addresses the concerns that IT leaders face when it comes to application and data integration."

Dell Boomi AtomSphere integrates applications and data in customers’ IT environments by acting as the connection between applications, whether they reside in the cloud or on-premise. The latest release of AtomSphere helps deliver predictable service levels for real-time data transfers in the cloud by reserving cloud resources. In addition, it provides a solution to manage their security policies with improved flexibility and governance…

"Summer 12 simplifies and improves integration processes, capitalizing on the efficiency offered by cloud computing," Nucci added. "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."

AtomSphere Summer 12 also includes the industry’s first crowd-sourced regression testing to help ensure that customer integration scenarios are tested in every release. Dell Boomi’s passionate community helps accelerate the quantity and relevance of regressions that are executed in each release.

New features included in AtomSphere Summer 12:

Boomi Assure: An industry first, Boomi Assure enables crowd-sourced regression testing, which allows users to submit their integration processes with test data to a regression testing framework, which will ensure pre-testing and support in future AtomSphere releases.
Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) Worker: A real-time oriented, high performing and custom configured Atom for through-the-cloud data movement, the SOA worker is delivered as part of the SOA Framework and ensures predictable performance levels for real-time data transfers.
Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) Enhancements: ETL enhancements in Summer 12 allow organizations to solve all major integration use cases with one platform:
-Join (Document Cache) enables users to join multiple data sources in one integration process and keep in-memory for fast access;
-Bulk Copy offers the most efficient and least disruptive way to load large volumes of data into a database, increasing the breadth of integration projects that can be
centrally developed, managed and monitored on one converged application and data integration platform; and
-Hadoop Connector Connectivity from your business to Hadoop for processing Big Data.
-Governance & Security Management: New security features enable enterprises greater flexibility in managing and federating security policies through SAML-based single sign-on, which supports centralized management of user access, and centralized password policy enhancements, enabling password creation policy on AtomSphere to conform with corporate standards.
