Data Services Server

WSO2 Data Services Server

Behind most application silos are heterogeneous and disparate data stores.The WSO2 Data Services Server augments Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) development efforts by providing an easy to use platform for integrating data stores, creating composite data views, and hosting data services.

Data services provide unprecedented data access and straightforward integration with business processes, mashups, gadgets, business intelligence and mobile applications. The WSO2 Data Services Server supports secure and managed data access across federated data stores, data service transactions, and data transformation and validation using a lightweight, developer friendly, agile development approach.
